ellos las van a escribir

or ellos van a escribirlas.

Direct Object Pronouns & present progressive forms

Like with the infinitive construction, the direct object pronoun can be placed before estar in the present progressive construction or it can be attached to the present participle.

Ex: ¿Los estudiantes están leyendo la lección? Sí, la están leyendo.

Or Sí, están leyéndola.

¡Atención! When a direct object pronoun is attached to the present participle, an accent mark is added to maintain the proper stress.

Una cosa más When a direct object noun in Spanish is a

person or a pet, it is preceded by the word a. [there is no English equivalent]

Ex : Don Francisco visita a la Señora Ramos.

Don Francisco visita el hotel Prado.

**In the first sentence, the personal a is required because the direct object is a person. In the second sentence, the personal a is not required because the direct object is a place, not a person.
