When translating a sentence to Spanish, does the verb come before the person object?

No senior. In "Maria knows me because I know Maria", this sentence must require for the verb to come after the pronoun "me". So picture it this way, "Maria, to me, knows because I, equal to maria, know her. Translation: Maria me conocer porque se que Maria. "se" comes from the change from "her" aka maria, which is "le" in spanish in this sentence. "le" changes to "se" because it simplifies the sentence.
