Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'diciéndome' one word or two?

In Spanish, it is written as one single word, but it functions as two: the action ('diciendo') and the person receiving it ('me').

Can I say 'me diciendo'?

No, pronouns like 'me' cannot stand alone before a gerund unless there is another verb like 'está' (e.g., 'me está diciendo'). If you want to use the '-ing' form alone, the 'me' must go at the end.
