8. Imperatives and Pronouns
Just like with reflexive verbs, Direct Object Pronouns (their person who receives the action) follows the Imperative Verb (commands)
Invite-moi
Offrez-nous l’assistance
Donne-moi
Prête-moi
It’s true, however, that since you will be making commands for yourself and others, you would not command one to make oneself the recipient very often, that would be the reflexive.
In other words: MOI, and NOUS will be used in this fashion, not TOI or VOUS
