English Grammar Connection: When two object pronouns are used in the same sentence in English, the direct object pronoun often appears first after the verb, and the indirect object pronoun becomes the object of a preposition. 

DOUBLE OBJECT PRONOUN

Here’s how: When there are two pronouns in the same sentence, you MUST put them in a certain

order. Memorize this mnemonic device to help you remember the order of object pronouns.

R.I.D. Reflexive Indirect Direct

Note***you will have either a reflexive or an indirect object, not both***

DOUBLE OBJECT PRONOUNSYou can also memorize this poem the help you remember the order.

Me lo, me la

Me lo, me la, me los, me las

Te lo, te la, te los, te las

Se lo, se la, se los, se las*

Nos lo, nos la, nos los, nos las

Os lo, os la, os los, os las

Se lo, se la, se los, se las*

* Notice that with the third person forms that we only use “se”. Even when we have an Indirect Object Pronoun (le, les) we change it to “se”

Any other order is incorrect! We can’t le- lo!
