Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
When using two object pronouns, the indirect object (me, te, le, nos, os, les) always comes before the direct object (lo, la, los, las).
- Indirect Object Pronoun (IOP) + Direct Object Pronoun (DOP) + Verb.
- If both start with 'L' (le lo), change the first one to 'se'.
- Pronouns attach to the end of infinitives or gerunds, but stay before conjugated verbs.

문화 노트
In Spain, 'leísmo' is common, where 'le' is used for people even if they are direct objects, but the ordering rule remains the same.
Mexicans often use 'se lo' very naturally and are very precise with pronoun placement.
In Argentina, 'voseo' affects the indirect object pronoun 'te' (which stays 'te'), but the ordering is identical.
These pronouns evolved from Latin demonstrative and personal pronouns.

You can't have two direct object pronouns in this structure.
No, it can also be reflexive.
It depends on the gender of the noun you are replacing.
Yes, 'se' replaces both 'le' and 'les'.
