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
