Sentence structure ''Es que no puedo decirtelo''

Question

''Es que no puedo decirtelo'' O/Y ''Es que no te lo puedo"

Is it ok to put the Te (you) and the lo (it) after the verb, in this case the infinitive decir.

I was talking with my spanish friend and she said (I think... she said, more than likely I heard correct :D ) that it means the same if you put them between the ''no'' and ''puedo''.

Im not sure though, Qué crees?

Gracias por tu respuesta Y un beso para toda la vida.

Answer 1

''Es que no puedo decirtelo'' O/Y ''Es que no te lo puedo decir"

Both are correct, just as robertico has said.

Answer 2

Both are correct, but if you attach them to decir and make it decírtelo, make sure you have an accent on the "i" in decir

Answer 3

Pronouns may be placed before the conjugated verb and after infinitives and participles. For example if you are talking about not giving something to someone, you might say any one of the following.

No te lo doy.

No estoy dándotelo.

No voy a dártelo.

I believe that pronouns can only be attached to infinitives, affirmative commands, and **present** participles. And, that they **cannot** be attached to past participles. - Pajaro44, Jun 6, 2010
