Let’s Review DO’s The DO Pro’s are:

Let’s Review IO’s The IO pro’s are:
Placement: Before the conjugated verb (replacing or accompanying a noun) or attached to the infinitive.

Indirect Object Pronouns
Singular Plural

te- you os-you-all familiar
le (you(formal), him, her, it) les (you-all (formal), them)
Let’s put them together
Rule 1: When you have both direct and indirect objects in one sentence, place the INDIRECT pronoun first!
Yo doy la mochila a tí. I gave the backpack to you.
DO- la IO-te So if we put them together…
Yo te la doy. I gave it to you.
Let’s put them together
RULE 2: If a conjugated verb appears with an infinitive or a verb in the -ndo form you can put the pronouns:
BEFORE the conjugated verb
ATTACHED to the infinitive or –ndo form
Voy a dar una mochila a tí.
Te la voy a dar. Voy a dártela
Estaba dando una mochila a tí
Te la estaba dando. Estaba dándotelaNOTE: accent will be given to stressed vowel when
attached.
Let’s put them together
RULE 3: If both the pronouns start with the letter L, the INDIRECT pronoun changes to SE
Doy la mochila a Rosa.IO for Rosa? LeDO for la mochila? LaDouble L calls for Change!Se la doy.
If les is your IO, you change it to SE
