    "I saw it before"should be allowed right? If it's a female it?

      That's what I figured.

          yes, as direct object pronoun before direct verbs! You'll learn more about that through discussions =)

          Does this mean: 1. I have seen her before. 2. I saw her today. 3. (Both)

            It can have both meanings depending on the context.

            Just to get this right...

            • Eu a vi antes. (BR-pt)
            • Eu vi-a antes. (EU-pt and grammatically correct)
            • Eu vi ela antes. (Informal and spoken only)

            Correct?
