I am learning direct objects, indirect objects, and reflexive prounouns and I get confused on where to place everything!

Can you please help me with translating these sentences?

You hand it in = La devuelvas?

You cook them

You close

Joey passes it (the lobster) to her.

The placement of the object pronouns is fixed in Spanish: indirect + direct. If they appear before the verb, they must be right before it in that order. If they appear after the verb, they must be attached to it in that order.

There's a good lesson here on this topic. In general they go in front of conjugated verbs, and are attached to the ends of infinitives, gerundios, and positive imperatives. Check the lesson to see which order to put them in if you're using more than one pronoun.
