- Indirect object pronouns precede the verb in 1-verb constructions, e.g. ‘me da la pelota’.
Keywords

-able - suffix meaning ‘that can be …’ or ‘worthy of being …’
Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to, when the action is to me, for you, to them
Common misconception
As in English, indirect object pronouns follow the verb in Spanish.
In 1-verb constructions, indirect object pronouns precede the verb in Spanish. This word order is different to English.
