  1. je levanto etc.


  2. A few types here and actually quite simple  but you need to actually use it more often in spoken until you get the hand of it.

    1. se in reflexive verbs such as levantarse (to get up).

    according to the person who performs the action, the verb will conjugate and the se needs to be changed to: me te se nos os se

    e.g. me levanto, te levantas, se levanta

    2. direct objects (the verb has direct effect on the person or object): me te lo/la os nos los/las

    e.g. lo pongo en la mesa (I put it on the table)

    e.g. te vi ayer (I saw you yesterday)

    3. indirect objects, usually in English, these are the ones with 'to / for someone' hence being indirect: me te le nos les

    e.g. te doy el libro (I give you the book)

    e.g. les llame (I called them)

    Notice: the forms for the 3rd person (him/her/you polite Usted) of direct & indirect objects are different!!!

    in a sentence when you have both direct and indirect objects, the order is always: indirect + direct

    e.g. te lo he dado (I have given it to you)

    Note: when the indirect is 'le' or 'les' then change to 'se'

    e.g. se lo  he dado (i have given it to them)
