The le/lo/la norm, accepted leísmo, and where pronouns sit in the clause
C2Formation
norma: lo/la = OD, le = OI · leísmo de persona (a él → le) aceptado · orden y posición
Explanation
By the standard, lo/la are direct objects and le is indirect: Lo veo (I see him), Le doy el libro (I give him the book). Leísmo — using le for a masculine person as direct object (A Juan le vi) — is very common in central Spain and accepted by the Academy only for a masculine singular person, not for things or women. Placement: pronouns go before a conjugated verb (Me lo dio) but attach to infinitives, gerunds and affirmative commands (dármelo, dándomelo, dámelo). Knowing the norm and the tolerated variation is a C2 refinement.
Examples
Note
