Taking off thesewe here have,acercar, 1st conjugation,doler, 2d conjugation; andarrepentir, 3d conjugation. (80.)
These verbs are conjugated by placing the pronounsme,te,se,se,nos,os,se,se, according to the number and person of the nominative they refer to, immediately before the verb, if the subject be expressed before it; and either before or after the verb, if the subject be not expressed or placed after it. When they are placed, after the verb, they must be written so as to form one word with it.
In the imperative mood they are always placed after the verb, which suppresses thesin the first person plural, and thedin the second person of the same number. When the second person singular or plural is used with the adverbno, the pronouns are placed before the verb. Examples:—
