| Pronoun | Meaning |
|---|---|
| me | me |
| te | you (informal) |
| le | him / her / you (formal) |
| nos | us |
| os | you all (Spain) |
| les | them / you all |
| se | himself / herself / themselves / or replaces le / les |
✅ C) Positive commands
➡️ ¡Llámame! (Call me!)
➡️ ¡Dímelo! (Tell it to me!)
📌 Pronoun must be attached.
5️⃣ What about se?
A) Reflexive (myself / yourself)
➡️ Me pierdo – I lose myself
➡️ Se perdió – He got lost
B) Replacement rule (VERY IMPORTANT)
You cannot say:
❌ le lo
❌ les la
So:
➡️ le / les → se
✔️ Se lo dije = I told it to him
✔️ Se la di = I gave it to her
6️⃣ Simple memory rule 🧠
👉 If the verb is NOT conjugated → attach pronoun
👉 If the verb IS conjugated → pronoun in front
2️⃣ When do you add it to the verb (like perderme)?
You attach the pronoun to the verb in 3 situations only:
✅ A) Infinitive (to + verb)
perder → to lose
➡️ perderme = to lose myself
➡️ decirte = to tell you
➡️ ayudarle = to help him/her
📌 Rule:verb + pronoun
3️⃣ When does it go before the verb?
In normal conjugated verbs, the pronoun goes before:
➡️ Me pierdo = I get lost
➡️ Te llamo = I call you
➡️ Le hablo = I speak to him/her
📌 Rule:pronoun + conjugated verb
✅ B) Gerund (-ing form)
perdiendo (losing)
➡️ perdiéndome = losing myself
➡️ diciéndote = telling you
📌 Accent is added to keep pronunciation.
