Atención
Just as you learned in familiar
commands, pronouns (direct and
indirect object as well as reflexive)
will proceed negative commands and
attach to the end of affirmative
commands.
*Remember to add an accent mark to an affirmative
command if you attach a pronoun in order to preserve the
original stress (on the second to last syllable of the
command without the pronoun)
