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.
