When speaking Spanish, you often use double object pronouns to replace nouns, such as saying 'I am going to give it to him' instead of 'I am going to give the book to the teacher'. If your spoken sentence contains a conjugated verb followed by an infinitive (such as 'going to give'), which of the following describes the grammatically correct ordering and placement of the double object pronouns?
- The indirect object pronoun must precede the direct object pronoun, and both must be placed together either immediately before the conjugated verb or attached to the end of the infinitive.Cevap
- BThe direct object pronoun must precede the indirect object pronoun, and both must be placed together immediately before the conjugated verb.
- CThe indirect object pronoun must precede the direct object pronoun, and they must be inserted between the conjugated verb and the infinitive.
- DThe indirect object pronoun must precede the direct object pronoun, but they must be separated, placing one before the conjugated verb and attaching the other to the infinitive.
Cevap
The correct rule is that the indirect object pronoun must precede the direct object pronoun, and both pronouns must be kept together either immediately before the conjugated verb or attached to the end of the infinitive.
This option correctly identifies both critical rules for double object pronouns in this structure: the indirect object must always precede the direct object, and the pronoun pair must act as a single inseparable unit placed either entirely before the conjugated verb or entirely attached to the end of the infinitive.
