1. Order of Object Pronouns |
Two object pronouns are often used together in the same sentence; for example: he gave me them or he gave them to me. In Spanish, you should always put the indirect object pronoun BEFORE the direct object pronoun.
Indirect | Direct | |
me | BEFORE | lo |
te | la | |
nos | los | |
os | las |
Spanish often uses pronouns in combination with nouns in a way that seems redundant to English native speakers. Note the use of indirect object pronouns as well as noun direct objects in the following:
I've given it to your boyfriend. | Se lo he dado a tu novio. |
I'm going to tell my brothers and sisters | Les voy a decir a mis hermanos |
