When to put Nos , Se , Me Te , Les

Question

So I was watching a show to practice my Spanish and a line came up that confused me " El Niño que sabe todos nos va a motrar que hacer un presidente" if this means he is going to show us what makes a president then why put nos before va a , it makes no sense

Answer 1

"He is going to show us what makes a president"
El niño que sabe todo nos va a mostrar que hace un presidente. / El niño que sabe todo va a mostrarnos que hace un presidente.

Yo: He is going to show me.
Él me va a mostrar. / Él va a mostrarme.

Tú:
He is going to show you.
Él te va a mostrar. / Él va a mostrarte.

Él/Ella:
He is going to show him/her.
Él le va a mostrar. / Él va a mostrarle.

A sí mismo:
He is going to show himself.
Él se va a mostar. Él va a mostrarse.

Nosotros:
He is going to show us.
Él nos va a mostrar. / Él va a mostrarnos.

Ustedes:
He is going to show them.
Él les va a mostrar. / Él va a mostrarles.

As Bpsque says,I think it should be ' el niño que sabelo todo..´but you´ve done great work in demonstrating the use of the pronouns very clearly. - annierats, Dec 1, 2015

Answer 2

Your sentence is meaningless, my friend.

Please correct it and so I can help you.

G'day , I think that his spelling caused you trouble , it should be " mostrar" , I hope that is all mate. - ray76, Dec 1, 2015

The sentence from Matias-v almost fixes it. It needs to "lo que hace" or "qué hace" not "que hacer". (the mostrar, and change from todos to todo were also necessary in my opinion). :) - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2015

Answer 3

In Spanish, the object pronoun(s) go before the entire verb phrase or they are appended to the verb itself. Regarding your example sentence, it would be incorrect to say "El Niño que sabe todos va a nos montrar que hacer un presidente." That just isn't the way it's done in Spanish. You'll get used to it. One can't expect that every language will use the same word order as one's native tongue.
