Questions & Answers about Nunca me he puesto un vestido de seda.
Why do we use me he puesto instead of just he puesto here?
To say you put clothing on yourself, you need the reflexive verb ponerse (to put on). Without the reflexive pronoun me, he puesto just means "I have put" or "I have placed" an object somewhere.
Is puesto an irregular verb form?
Yes, puesto is the highly irregular past participle of poner (and its reflexive form ponerse). Instead of ending in "-ido" like regular "-er" verbs, it changes completely, which is why we say me he puesto for "I have put on".
Could I put nunca at the end of the sentence instead?
Why is it de seda instead of just putting the words together like "seda vestido"?
