Let’s put them together  Rule 1: When you have both direct and indirect objects in one sentence, place the INDIRECT pronoun first!  Yo doy la mochila a tí. I gave the backpack to you. DO- la IO-te  So if we put them together… Yo te la doy. I gave it to you.

Let’s put them together RULE 2: If a conjugated verb appears with an infinitive or a verb in the -ndo form you can put the pronouns: BEFORE the conjugated verb ATTACHED to the infinitive or –ndo form Voy a dar una mochila a tí. Te la voy a dar.Voy a dártela Estaba dando una mochila a tí Te la estaba dando.Estaba dándotela NOTE: accent will be given to stressed vowel when attached.

Let’s put them together  RULE 3: If both the pronouns start with the letter L, the INDIRECT pronoun changes to SE  Doy la mochila a Rosa. IO for Rosa? Le DO for la mochila? La Double L calls for Change! Se la doy.  If les is your IO, you change it to SE
