RID order when you have two object pronouns in a sentence, these pronouns always appear in the RID order. And because two is the maximum number of pronouns that can appear together, the possible combinations are RD – reflexive – direct me lo compro - I buy it for myself ¿Tu pelo es magnifico. te lo lavas mucho? ID – indirect – direct Yo te la escribo - I write it to you Ella me las vende – she sells them to me La La Rule When both the direct and indirect objects are in the third person, regardless of gender and number, both pronouns will begin with 'L'; so change the indirect object (the first one) to “se”. consider the sentence - “I give it to him” - this would become “Yo le lo doy”, so we change this to “Yo se lo doy”. negation(1 verb) put the no or the negation word before first pronoun. When sentence has 2 verbs, there are 2 options Quiero dartelo te lo quiero dar negation (2 verbs) no quiero dartelo no te lo quiero dar. ============================================================= Direct Object Pronouns what does John have? (What) whom does John see? (Whom) me, te, lo/la, nos, os, los/las He has the book the book = direct object John sees Mary (her) mary = direct object John lo tiene lo = direct object John la ve la = direct object Negation (with one verb) Yo no lo sé nunca lo estudiáis | | | neg word | |_ conjugated verb | direct object Two verbs then two options 1) te quiero ver | | | direct object conjugated verb infinitive 2) quiero verte | | conjugated verb infinitive+direct object Negation with two verbs 1) no lo tengo que leer negation word direct object conj verb infinitive 2) no tengo que leerlo ============================================================= Indirect Object Pronouns To Whom (or) For Whom me, te, le, nos, os, se | |______(them, you) |_ (him, her, you, it) DO = direct object IO = indirect object He buys me flowers (he buys flowers for me) |_DO |_IO In a sentence with an indirect object there is always a direct object either stated or implied. My Gradmother writes me every week | | she writes(DO) something_| |_ to me (IO) the direct object is understood to be a letter, postcard, or note with one verb, IO before conjugated verb Juan me compra un libro With two verbs there are two options 1) before the first conjugated verb él me quiere dar un regalo 2) on the end of the infinitive of the second verb él quiere darme un regalo Negation 1) after negation and before verb él no me trae nada 2) on the end of the infinitive of second verb él nunca quiere traerme nada ============================================================= Reflexive Object Pronouns me (myself) te (yourself) se (himself / herself / itself) nos (ourselves) os (yourselves) se (themselves) The action of the verb is to self me lavo el pelo cada dia I wash my hair every day Nearly all verbs can be made reflexive, there is no magic trick ! If the action is to self then it is reflective. Preposition + Infinitive with Reflexive Pronouns verbs following a preposition must be in the infinitive, with reflexive verbs the infinitive remains untouched and the reflexive pronoun is added to the end of the infinitive to agree with the understood subject Yo leo antes de acostarme | | |__(reflexive pronoun on the end of the verb) preposition | infinitive infinitive | antes de dormirte, tú necesitas lavarte | | | | | | |_______________|__(reflexive pronoun) preposition | infinitive
