Explaining indirect object placement

Question

Hello everyone, I'm waiting for an answer from someone else, but I would like for more people to chip in.

I learned that "Siento haberte estado ignorando" is correct if I wanted to say "I am sorry that I have been ignoring you" in Spanish.

I want to know if these sentences would also be correct: 1) "Siento haber estado ignorándote" 2) "Te siento haber estado ignorando" 3) "Te lamento haber estado ignorando" 4) "Lamento haber estado ignorándote"

For all of them, I got different translations: 1) "I feel have been ignoring you " 2) "I feel you have been ignoring" 3) "I regret having been ignoring" 4) "I'm sorry I been ignoring you"

I was taught that the indirect pronoun can go before the conjugated verb (siento/lamento), attached to the infinitive (haber), or attached to the gerundio (ignorando).

Answer 1

The first and last are correct.

The other two are wrong because of the indirect object placement, you don´t regret the person but the thing that you did.

thank you Julian! - Ramonaspiker, May 31, 2016
