The pronombre complemento can come:<\/p>\n

1. After the verb – this is called \u00e9nclisis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ll\u00e1mame<\/strong> a las ocho.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the case above the verb and the pronoun are written together.<\/p>\n

Attention!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pronombre complement always comes after verbs:<\/p>\n

– in the gerund<\/strong>:
\nEstoy escribi\u00e9ndole una carta<\/strong>. – Estoy escribi\u00e9ndose<\/strong>la<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– in the infinitive<\/strong>:
\nVoy a comprarte<\/strong> el disco<\/strong>. – Voy a compr\u00e1rtelo<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

– in the affirmative imperative<\/strong>:
\nTr\u00e1igame el libro<\/strong>. – Tr\u00e1igamelo<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Before the verb – this is called pr\u00f3clisis.<\/p>\n

Te<\/strong> llamar\u00e9 a las ocho.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pronombre complemento<\/em> comes after the verb in all other verb tenses.<\/p>\n

– in the futuro de indicativo:
\nTe<\/strong> escribir\u00e9 una carta<\/strong>. – Te la<\/strong> escribir\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

– in presente de subjuntivo:
\nTal vez te<\/strong> compre el disco<\/strong>. – Tal vez te lo<\/strong> compre.<\/em><\/p>\n

– in the negative imperative:
\nNo me<\/strong> traiga el libro.<\/strong> – No me lo<\/strong> traiga.<\/em><\/p>\n
