And nos and os, to be technical.

Answer 2

the te is really a seperate word added to the end of the verb. when the verb is conjugated the pronoun is in front of the verb e.g "Te busco" = I search you/for you. But when you use the verbs infinitive then you can put the 'te' on the end e.g "Buscarte" = to search you/for you. An example of when this is used is "Yo quiero buscarse" meaning: "I want to search for him" (me, te and se can all be put on the ends of verbs)

Answer 3

buscarte is the infinitive "buscar" + "te" as a pronoun for "you."
Tengo que buscarte. (I have to search for you.)
If there are two verbs in a clause then you do not conjugate the second; you leave it as the infinitive. You can then add a pronoun to the end of an infinitive or you could put it directly before the first verb.
(Te tengo que buscar.)
