Sentences with 2 Object Pronouns
When you have two object pronouns in a sentence,
they will always appear in the R.I.D. order:
Reflexive, Indirect , Direct object pronouns.
I buy it (book) for myself.
Me lo compro.
They sent it (magazine) to you.
Te la mandaron.
Ana will give me it (money).
Ana me lo dará.

Héctor will sing it (song - canción) for me.

When you have a conjugated verb + an infinitive or
gerund, the same rules apply as with one object
pronoun. You may place both pronouns: 1) before the
conjugated verb, or 2) attached to the infinitive or
gerund.

Yo te lo quiero dar. OR Yo quiero dártelo.
I am going to give it to you.
Yo te lo voy a dar. OR Yo voy a dártelo.
Notice, that if attached to the infinitive/gerund, you
must add an accent to retain the pronunciation.
I am going to send you it (bill – cuenta) .
Yo te la voy a mandar.
Yo voy a mandártela.

Ellos tienen que vendérnosla.

If the Indirect Object Pronoun is the 3rd person (him, her,
Ud, them, Uds), where the pronoun is “le” or “les”, the
Indirect Object Pronoun will change to “se”.

Le lo dimos → Se lo dimos
