Because this subject is somewhat complex and usually takes a few days
to "get" it, I am answering this question. I hope it helps all the new beginning
learners of Spanish.
Before I answer your question, I need to give a quick grammar lesson here.
"Infinitive" The form of the verb ending in "ar" "er" or "ir"
"Present participle" The form of the verb ending in "ando", "iendo" or "yendo"
Next: Indirect pronouns always preceed the direct pronouns.
Next" When there are two "l" words coming together, change the first one to "se:
Instead of "le lo di" or "les los di" Change it to "se lo di" and "se los di"
Next point:, in a ONE verb sentence the ONLY place that these pronouns can go is
in front of the verb. as I did in the above "se lo" examples.
In a two or more verb sentence, the pronouns can be placed before the first verb. or attached to the following participle or infinitive.
Now the corrections and now you'll know Why
