Grammar Rules & Patterns
Rule 1: Before a Conjugated Verb
Pronombre + Verbo Conjugado

Verbo Conjugado + Infinitivo-Pronombre
When you have a sentence with two verbs, like 'I am going to eat,' the pronoun can be attached directly to the end of the infinitive verb (the one ending in -ar, -er, or -ir).
