Attaching Pronouns to Verbs

PRONOUNS ATTACHED TO GERUNDS With gerunds: The rules for gerunds are similar to those for infinitives. When a gerund is used preceded by another verb, the pronoun can be placed before the other verb but not between the other verb and the gerund. When a gerund stands by itself, the pronoun typically is attached. Some examples:

Lo estoy buscando. Estoy buscándolo. (I am looking for it.) Seguiré estudiándolo. Lo seguiré estudiando. (I will keep on studying it.) Leyéndolo, tendrás éxito. (By reading it you'll be successful.)

This doesn't specifically give examples of indirect pronouns, but the rules would apply there as well. IOP before DOP if both exist, change le or les to se, etc.
