"Ela precisa dele."

Translation: She needs him.

[drtluther]

Why not "ela precisa ele"?

[dconn1955]

because the verb "precisar" always needs the preposition "de" to go with it, therefore precisa + (de + ele) = precisa dele.

[Tiqmas]

The verb pecisar only requires "de" to be linked with nouns; if the complement is another verb, they are linked directly.
(eu preciso de você = I need you) (Eu preciso fazer isto = I need to do this)

[PansyPurple]

I put "she needs it" but it was marked wrong. Isn't my translation OK?

[ShirleyMuo2]

You should use "It" only for things or animals, this translated to portugues means "disso" "daquilo". But "dele" means a male person... "him"

[Paulenrique]

Yes, just report.

[Isabelle_Campos]

no its not it does not say she needs it it says to write she needs HIM theres no it

The girl lost her watch. She needs it. (Ela precisa dele - relógio)
The girl lost her boyfriend. She needs him (Ela precisa dele - namorado)
It depends on the context
