Question

In a sentence "Pero me fui acostumbrando a tu ausencia" what kind of pronoun is "me" and why is it necessary?

Answer 1

Acostumbrarse is a reflexive verb so you need the reflexive pronoun. Reflexive pronouns are: me, te, se, nos, os, se

In this case, since you use two verbs together (ir+acostumbrarse) you can place the pronoun or before the first verb, the conjugated verb or attached to the second one (usually infinitive or gerund).

Me fui acostumbrando

or

Fui acostumbrándome

Answer 2

What GexThunderstorm is telling you is me in this sentence is a reflexive pronoun and it remains reflexive regardless of it´s placement in the sentence. It´s necessary because acostumbrarse is a relfexive verb.

Answer 3

Si, en esta sí.

"Pero me fui acostumbrando a tu ausencia"

"Pero fui acostumbrandome a tu ausencia"

Claro a menos de que te guste hablar incompletamente xD
