Double Pronouns: Se Lo, Te La

When one sentence has two object pronouns, the indirect one (to whom) comes first and the direct one (what) second, both before the conjugated verb: Te lo presto (I'll lend it to you).

• me lo, la, los, las (to me)
• te lo, la, los, las (to you)
• nos lo, la, los, las (to us)
• se lo, la, los, las (to him, her, you formal, them)

Le and les never stand before lo, la, los, las: they turn into se. So say se lo di, never le lo di. The second pronoun agrees with the thing: el libro → se lo, la carta → se la, los zapatos → se los, las fotos → se las. Even when se means 'to them', only the thing counts: ¿Les contaste el secreto? Sí, se lo conté.
