You know 4 different types:
1. The subject pronouns [ yo, tú, él, ella, Ud., nosotros, ellos,
ellas, Uds.
These pronouns are usually at the beginning of the
sentence and agree with the verb, because they indicate
who or what is doing the action.
They may be eliminated in the yo, tú and nosotros forms, because
the verb endings make it clear who the subject is.
Por ejemplo:
¿ Vives en Utica?. Obviously the tú form.
Vivo en Holland Patent pero todos estamos ahora en Utica.
Obviously the yo and nosotros forms.
Vive en Australia
Who? Him? Her? Ud? Nicole Kidman?
Hugh Jackman?
the object and reflexive pronouns
You can have 2 of these in a sentence. NEVER 3.
R. I. D.
If there are two pronouns in a sentence, they will be in this order,
and in the following possible combinations:
R. D . or I.D.
reflexive verbs never combine
with indirect object pronouns

and is identified by asking
“What + verb”
Pronouns go before the conjugated verb,
or after and attached to the second verb
when it’s a compound verb.
She puts on a hat:
She puts it onto herself [reflexive verb + pronoun] ponerse
What does she put on? A hat [direct object] se pone
singular, masculineLO
Ella se lo pone.
herself it—the hat / el sombrero
otro ejemplo
He shaves his face—He shaves himself on the face—He

The reflexive verbs that involve body parts and items of
clothing can have direct objects; the others won’t. And NEVER
indirect objects!
