
When the command
is positive, and the
verb is reflexive, the
reflexive pronoun is
placed at the end,
hanging on to the
command.
First conjugate the
verb into a
command, then put
the pronoun at the
end.
 Relajarse►
 Relaja►
 ¡Relájate!
For negative commands with
reflexives:
 The
reflexive
pronoun goes
BEFORE the
conjugated verb.
