el amigo. 'el amigo'. This masculine noun means 'friend'. For example, 'No tienes un amigo a quien me podrías presentar?' / 'You don't have a friend to whom you could introduce me?'. El amigo.

No tienes un amigo a quien me podrías presentar? You don't have a friend to whom you could introduce me?

Could you say, "¿No tienes un amigo a quien podrías presentarme?" ??

The location of the me (before the conjugated verb or atttached to the infinitive is optional.)

Don't forget that Spanish questions require a ¿.

Similar to the verb arrangement being optional in your English question. I would have worded it as:

Don't you have a friend.....?

That's how I would have worded it, too. I was just going by what the guy in the video said. - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 1, 2011
So, it's not incorrect to have it as "...quien podrías presentarme?" ? - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 1, 2011
No, it is not incorrect. If there are 3 verbs (one conjugated and 2 infinitives, the pronoun goes on the first infiintive if you choose to attach it) quiero poderle llamar - 0074b507, Jul 1, 2011
