Pronombres con mandatos

With all affirmative commands, the object pronouns are attached directly to the end of the command. Buy it (el coche). Cómpralo.

Note that in order to maintain the original stress of the verb, a written accent is often needed. If the command has more than one syllable, a written accent is required when one or more pronoun is added. Write it (la carta). Escríbela.

If the command has only one syllable, a written accent is only necessary when two pronouns are added. Tell me. Dime. Tell it (el secreto) to me. Dímelo.

With all negative commands, the object pronouns come before the imperative form of the verb. Don’t order it (el postre). No lo pidas.

Remember, if both indirect and direct object pronouns are attached, the indirect object pronoun comes before the direct object pronoun. Serve it (la comida) to us. Sírvenosla.

Remember the rule regarding two object pronouns: whenever both pronouns begin with the letter “l,” change the first pronoun to “se” Look for it (la respuesta) for her. Búscasela.

Nosotros form… For the nosotros form, in order to keep the stressed vowel, we also add a written accent (where the stress is in the command, which happens to be on the ending). Let’s look for it (the bicycle). Busquémosla.

Nosotros continued… When the nosotros form is reflexive or when we use the indirect object pronoun “se,” we drop the “s” from the command form and add the object pronouns. Let’s go.** Vámonos. Let’s look for it (the letter) for her. Busquémosela.
