Can-Do

I can manage common advanced pronoun combinations and understand marked word order in connected Spanish.

Meaning Comes First

You are not memorizing a new pronoun list. The B2 task is to place already-known clitics naturally and preserve reference when Spanish word order becomes more flexible.

Keep in mind

practice only the exact pronoun pairs, command forms, doubling/possession frames, fronting frames and accidental-se patterns learned for Module 79.

Lesson 1 — Clitics with Verb Phrases

What you are learning:with these exact infinitive and gerund verb phrases, Spanish allows the pronoun before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive/gerund. No new pronoun forms are introduced.

Lo quiero ver. / Quiero verlo.
I want to see it. Both placements are learned.
Lo puedo hacer. / Puedo hacerlo.
I can do it. Both placements are learned.
Lo estoy haciendo. / Estoy haciéndolo.
I am doing it. The attached gerund keeps the required written accent.
Me voy a levantar. / Voy a levantarme.
I am going to get up. The reflexive pronoun can move with the infinitive phrase.

Practice: 20 varied Practice Rolls — five for each learned placement pair.

Lesson 2 — Clitics with Commands & Written Accents

What you are learning:affirmative commands attach the pronoun; negative commands keep it before the verb. For the learned affirmative forms, the written accents preserve the required stress and are important here.

English comparison:English normally keeps object pronouns as separate words. Spanish affirmative commands can attach them directly to the command, while negative commands place them before the verb.
cómpralo
buy it — informal singular Affirmative command: pronoun attached.
cómprelo
buy it — formal singular Affirmative command: pronoun attached.
dígame
tell me — formal singular Affirmative command: pronoun attached.
dímelo
tell it to me / tell me it The written accent matters here.
hágalo
do it — formal singular The written accent matters here.
háganlo
do it — you all Mexican Spanish uses ustedes; the written accent matters.
no lo compren
don't buy it — you all Negative command: pronoun before the verb.
no lo haga
don't do it — formal singular Negative command: pronoun before the verb.
no me diga
don't tell me — formal singular Negative command: pronoun before the verb.

Practice: 50 varied Practice Rolls — five for the command-pronoun rule plus five for each exact command form.

Lesson 3 — Keeping the Pronoun & Showing Who Is Affected

What you are learning:natural Spanish can keep a pronoun even when the person is also named, and can mark the person affected by an object or possession. Do not delete the pronoun merely because English often packages the idea differently.

A Juan le gusta...
Juan likes... /... is pleasing to Juan. Keep the pronoun le even with the explicit person.
Le di el libro a Juan.
I gave the book to Juan. Spanish keeps le plus the explicit a + person phrase.
Me han reparado el coche.
They have repaired my car / The car has been repaired for me. Spanish marks the affected possessor with me rather than using only a possessive adjective.

Practice: 15 varied Practice Rolls — five for each learned doubling/possession phrase pattern.

Lesson 4 — Fronting & Topic Emphasis

What you are learning:Spanish can move a known object/topic to the front for connected language emphasis. In these guided patterns, the clause still carries the matching resumptiveloorla.

A Juan lo vi ayer.
Juan, I saw him yesterday. Fronted person + resumptive lo.
A María la conozco.
María, I know her. Fronted person + resumptive la.
Ese libro lo quiero.
That book, I want it. Fronted known object + resumptive lo.
La puerta la cerré.
The door, I closed it. Fronted known object + resumptive la.

Practice: 20 varied Practice Rolls — five for each exact fronting phrase pattern.

Lesson 5 — SE, Responsibility & Nuance

What you are learning:the learned accidental/affected-personseframes emphasize the event and the affected person. This module does not generalizesebeyond the listed use.

se me cayó
Representative learned example. The pattern puts the focus on what happened and who was affected, rather than directly saying who caused it.
se le rompió
he/she/you had it break / it broke on him/her/you Pronoun showing who is affected: le.
se me cayó
I dropped it / it fell on me Pronoun showing who is affected: me.
se me olvidó
I forgot it / it slipped my mind Pronoun showing who is affected: me.
se nos perdió
we lost it / it got lost on us Pronoun showing who is affected: nos.

Practice: 25 varied Practice Rolls — five for the use plus five for each phrase you learned.

Review & Reuse

Fifty later and varied review tasks revisit all five Module 79 patterns and include later review from Module 78. These review Practice Rolls use only Spanish you have already learned.

Combined Practice

Practice placement, command clitics, doubling, fronting and affected-personsein different situations. Extra practice after Reveal is completed here.

Apply & Communicate

Show P05 through connected practice: choose placement, preserve reference and use the learned connected-language patterns without explaining a grammar rule.
