When you have both a direct object pronoun and an
indirect object pronoun in the same sentence, the
indirect object pronoun comes first. Ellos me
los dan.They give them to me.IO pronoun meDO
pronoun los Ella te la vende.She sells it to
you.IO pronoun teDO pronoun la
11
Whenever both pronouns begin with the letter "l"
change the first pronoun to "se. le lo se
lole la se lale los se losle las se
lasles lo se loles la se lales los se
losles las se las
12
In negative sentences, the negative word comes
directly before the first pronoun. No se lo
tengo.I don't have it for you. Nunca se los
compro.I never buy them for her.
13
Because the pronoun se can have so many meanings,
it is often helpful to clarify it by using a
prepositional phrase. Él se lo
dice.Ambiguous. He tells it to (whom?). Él se lo
dice a Juan.He tells it to him. (to Juan) Él se
lo dice a María.He tells it to her. (to
María) Él se lo dice a ella.He tells it to her.
14

In sentences with two verbs, there are two
options regarding the placement of the pronouns.
Place them immediately before the conjugated verb
or attach them directly to the infinitive. She
should explain it to me. Ella me lo debe
explicar.Ella debe explicármelo. I want to tell
it to you.Te lo quiero decir.Quiero
decírtelo. You need to send it to them.Se la
necesitas enviar a ellos.Necesitas enviársela a
ellos.
Note that when attaching the pronouns to the
infinitive, a written accent is also added to the
final syllable of the infinitive. This preserves
the sound of the infinitive.
15
When the pronouns are attached to the infinitive,
make the sentence negative by placing the
negative word directly before the conjugated
verb. Ella debe explicármelo.Ella no debe
explicármelo. Quiero decírtelo.No quiero
decírtelo. Necesitas enviársela a ellos.No
necesitas enviársela a ellos.
16

When the pronouns come before the conjugated
verb, make the sentence negative by placing the
negative word directly before the pronouns. Ella
me lo debe explicar. Ella no me lo debe
explicar. Te lo quiero decir.No te lo quiero
decir. Se la necesitas enviar a ellos.No se la
necesitas enviar a ellos.
