Revising pronoun reasoning

Non llo dixo. A learner sees this original sentence in a grammar exercise and decides that llo must always appear after the verb because many affirmative examples use enclisis. A classmate notes the negative clause and proposes analysing the actual construction before applying a rule. The participants and the object have been established by the surrounding classroom conversation, so the exercise is about placement rather than guessing an unrelated recipient. The teacher asks students to compare the negative sentence with the affirmative Díxollo and to explain why the written form does not use Portuguese-style hyphenation. They must distinguish the function of the combined pronoun from its position and avoid claiming that every subordinate environment is identical. No translation alone can replace the grammatical analysis.
