The text is a transcription of a Portuguese language class about pronominal placement. The instructor explains that pronominal placement refers to the use of oblique pronouns next to verbs, and that there are three classifications: proclisis (pronoun before the verb), enclisis (pronoun after the verb), and mesoclisis (pronoun in the middle of the verb).
The instructor provides several rules for pronominal placement, including:
* When there is an adverb, negative word, or relative pronoun before the verb, the oblique pronoun is attracted to it and must be placed before the verb.
* When there is a preposition before a verb in the gerund, the oblique pronoun must be placed before the verb.
* When the verb is in the infinitive and is governed by a preposition, the oblique pronoun must be placed after the preposition.
* When the verb is in the future tense, the oblique pronoun must be placed in the middle of the verb.
The instructor also notes that while these rules may not be followed in spoken Portuguese, they are important for written Portuguese.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. Pronominal placement refers to the use of oblique pronouns next to verbs.
2. There are three classifications of pronominal placement: proclisis, enclisis, and mesoclisis.

9. Demonstrative pronouns, such as "this" or "that", can also affect pronoun placement.
10. When a sentence begins with a verb, the pronoun typically comes after the verb.
