The RID Order
-pC! C(kJL&
When you have two object pronouns in a sentence, these pronouns
always will appear in the RID order: reflexive, indirect, direct object pronouns. Because two is the maximum number of pronouns that can
appear together, the possible combinations are reflexive-indirect
(rare), reflexive-direct, or indirect-direct.

rhe La La Rule
When both the direct and the indirect objects are in the third person, both pronouns, regardless
of number or gender, will begin with the letter l. 'When this happens, change the indirect object
pronoun (the first one) to se. The reason for this is to avoid the singsong, tongue-tripping quality of the two small words starting with the letter l. We call this the "la la rule."
-">
Consider the sentence "I give it (m.) to him." The indirect object is him (Ie) and the direct object
is it (10). Thus we first have Yo le 10 doy. Because of the la la rule, we will change the indirect
object Ie to se, and the result will be Yo se 10 doy.

Statement
In a negative sentence or clause in which the RID rules apply, place the word no (or other word
of negation) directly before the first pronoun. Note the la la rule in action in the examples, and
watch for sentences like them in the exercises that follow.
examples:
No te 10 tengo.
I do n 't have it for you.
No se 10s tengo.
I don't have them for them.
Nunca se 1a compran.
They never buy it for her.
No nos 1as vendemos.
We don't sell them to ourselves.

RID in Sentences with Two Verbs
In sentences that contain two verbs, the RID pronoun rule still applies; however, now you will
attach both pronouns directly to the second verb-namely,
the infinitive. You have seen this
same syntactic rule with each of the individual pronouns.
In order to retain the natural accent of the infinitive (the second verb), which always falls on the
final syllable, you now add an accent mark over the vowel in that syllable: comer + se + 10 =
comerselo; entregar + me + 1~ = entregdrmelas; vender + nos + 10s = oendernoslos.
You can also, if you choose, place the two pronouns before the first, conjugated verb. In that
case, there will be no need to add an accent to the final syllable of the infinitive: se 10 puede
comer; me las qui ere entregar; nos 10s debe vender.
.
examples:
Quiero dartelo,
Te 10 quiero dar.
I want to give it to you.
Queremos decirselo,
Se 10 queremos decir.
We want to say it to him ..
Tienes que enviarmela,
Me la tienes que enviar.
You have to send it to me.
Necesitais poneroslo.
Os 10 necesitais poneI'.
You need to put it on yourselves.
Ella puede hacerselo.
Ella se 10 puede hacer.
She can do it for herself.
Ustedes pueden escondernoslo,
Ustedes nos 10 pueden esconder.
You can hide it from us.

Questions and Negative Statements
with Two Verbs
In a negative sentence with two verbs, place the word no (or other word of negation) directly
before the first, conjugated verb. If you choose to place the. pronouns before the conjugated
verb, the word no will precede the pronouns.
For questions, just add question marks. If you want to add the subject's name or pronoun, do so
after the first, conjugated verb.
examples:
No quiero dejartelo,
No te 10 quiero dejar.
I don't want to leave it for you.
_
No tenemos que comprarselo,
No se 10 tenemos que comprar.
We don't have to buy it for him.
