Subject:  the performer of the action

Reflexive:  an action performed on oneself

Direct object:  the thing/person receiving the action of the verb

Indirect object: the person receiving the direct object

Disjuntive:  a pronoun used after a preposition e.g. a, con, de etc. ( and ti are not used with entre, excepto and según)

Normally, object and reflexive pronouns precede the conjugated verbs.

But if an infinitive, a present participle (-ando/-iendo) or an affirmative command is involved, you can attach the pronouns behind the infinitive, the present participle or the command.
