Questions & Answers about El gerente quiere la joya, pero no se la doy.
Why does it say se la doy instead of le la doy since we are not giving it to him?
How do I remember which pronoun comes first in se la?
The indirect object (who receives the action, se) always goes before the direct object (the thing being acted on, la). A helpful trick is to remember 'people before things.' The person receiving the jewel (se) stands in line before the jewel itself (la).
Where is the word for 'I' in the second half of the sentence?
It is built right into the verb! The word doy is the 'I' form of the verb dar (to give). Because doy uniquely means 'I give', you do not need to include yo unless you want to add special emphasis.
Can I split the pronouns and put the no between them, like se no la doy?
