Pronombres de objeto indirecto y objeto directo usados juntos
When using indirect and direct object pronouns together in the same sentence, the indirect one goes first. The two pronouns must stay beside each other, and the usual object pronoun placement rules apply.
Third-person object pronouns used together
An interesting thing happens when two third-person object pronouns are used together (e.g. “give it to them” or “receive them from her”): both the indirect and the direct object pronouns in the third person start with the letter “L”.
For purely phonetic reasons, the indirect object pronoun in those situations changes to “se”.
Por ejemplo:
- ¿Los pasajes de avión para usted?
LeSe los puse en este sobre.
(The plane tickets for you? I put them in this envelope for you.)
