Object pronouns

Prescribed by the AQA specification.

The short version

Where the object pronoun lives

The default home for an object pronoun is directly in front of the conjugated verb: lo veo, not veo lo. With an infinitive, a gerund or an affirmative command it attaches to the end instead, and a written accent comes with it. Attaching lengthens the word, so the accent pins the stress where it already was.
