Tutorial by Lazarus: Atonic pronouns

Question

How to easily know the meaning of combined words

These are structured by a verb and an atonic pronoun, those are writing joined to the verb: (te, -me, -se, -le, -nos, -la, -lo, -los, -las).

"Hazlo", "dáselas", "déjalo"
"Déjelo"= verb "dejar", second singular person (formal way) + pronoun "lo"
- Te devuelvo tu libro.
- Déjalo ( el libro) sobre la mesa por favor.

Son los pronombres átonos que siguen al verbo y se escriben unidos al mismo: (te, -me, -se, -le, -nos, -la, -lo, -los, -las)

Mírame = look at me
Mírate = look at yourself
Míralo = look at it / him
Mírala = look at her
Míranos = look at us
Miraos = look at yourselves
Míralos = look at them (masculine)
Míralas = look at them (feminine)

Míramelo = Look at it for me
Míraselo = Look at it for him/her
Míranoslo = Look at it for us

This looks like it could be a candidate for a reference article... - Toph, Aug 7, 2009

Thanks. Is there any rule for placing the pronoun in front of the verb instead of combining it with the verb?
