Learn Spanish: Module 35 — Pronoun Placement & Meaning

I can place known pronouns with infinitives/gerunds and after common prepositions, and distinguish reflexive, object and prepositional pronoun roles.

This module changes where known pronouns can appear and how their role is identified. It also teaches the stressed forms used after common prepositions.

Module 35 For now:only the exact infinitive/gerund placement patterns and prepositional-pronoun forms learned here are introduced. The next module’s new multi-verb patterns and Later pattern for combining two object pronouns are not introduced. Verb Tense Options is not shown because no contrast between tenses is learned.

Lesson 1

Pronoun Attached to an Infinitive

What you are learning:I can recognize or use an object pronoun attached to an infinitive when appropriate.

Start here

Spanish	English meaning
Quiero verlo.	I want to see it/him.
Puedo ayudarle.	I can help him/her/you (usted).
Quiero decirte.	I want to tell you — familiar singular.

Build & connect

Compare with the previous placement rule:before one conjugated verb, a known object pronoun can appear before that verb. In these learned infinitive patterns, the pronoun attaches to the infinitive while keeping the same grammatical relationship.

J09 + H11

Pronouns with Gerunds

What you are learning:I can place a known pronoun before estar or attach it to the gerund in the learned progressive patterns.

Start here

Before estar	Attached to gerund	Meaning
Lo estoy haciendo.	Estoy haciéndolo.	I am doing it.
Me estoy levantando.	Estoy levantándome.	I am getting up.

Build & connect

Two positions, same relationship:the pronoun may come before the conjugated form ofestaror attach to the gerund in these learned progressive patterns. When attached, a written accent may be required to preserve the stress.

Lesson 2

Same Pronoun, Different Meaning

What you are learning:I can distinguish basic reflexive pronouns from object pronouns through meaning.

Start here

Known Spanish	Role of me
Me necesita.	direct object — another person needs me
Me da la camisa.	recipient — another person gives the shirt to me
Me estoy levantando.	reflexive — the action returns to the subject

Build & connect

Meaning outranks shape:the same visible pronoun can have different grammatical relationships. Use the verb and the meaning of the whole sentence instead of guessing from the pronoun alone.

J09–J10 + preposition pattern

Pronouns After Prepositions

What you are learning:I can select the correct pronoun after a preposition.

Start here

After a preposition	Meaning
mí	me
ti	you — familiar singular
él / ella / usted	him/he / her/she / formal you
nosotros / nosotras	us/we
ellos / ellas / ustedes	them/they / you all
conmigo	with me
contigo	with you — familiar singular

para mí— for me

de ti— of/from you

con él— with him

Build & connect

Form and spelling matter: míhas a written accent as the pronoun after a preposition;tihas no written accent. Withcon, the first- and familiar-second-person singular useconmigoandcontigo.

Recall & Practice

50 rolls Review Module 35 while reactivating already learned object, recipient, progressive and reflexive language.

Combined Practice

Switch placement and pronoun role in different situations without adding a new grammar pattern.

Apply & Communicate

The first five Apply rolls are main Apply practices. The next five are matching extra practice in a new situation if Reveal was used.

You can now

I can attach a known pronoun to an infinitive, use either learned progressive position with a gerund, identify pronoun role from meaning, and use the correct pronoun after a preposition.
