You have learned about both direct and indirect object Double Object Pronouns You have learned about both direct and indirect object pronouns. They both go before the conjugated verb.

We bought them for you. i.o.p. d.o.p. El mesero me los dio. The wiater gave them to me.

Vas a comprármelos. Estás comprándomelos. Double Object Pronouns Remember that when a conjugated verb appears with an infinitive or an –ndo form, you have two choices.

Double object pronoun replacements When a 3rd person I.O.P. (le or les) goes before a 3rd person D.O.P. (lo, la, los, or las), the I.O.P must be changed to se. Context will let you know whether the se is replacing le or les.

Whenever both pronouns begin with the letter "l" change the first pronoun to "se." le lo = se lo le la = se la le los = se los le las = se las les lo = se lo les la = se la les los = se los les las = se las
