Commands and
Pronoun Placement
©2010 Teacher’s Discovery
Pronouns (direct, indirect, reflexive)
are placed before the verb in negative
commands.
Ejemplos:
¡No lo digas! = Don’t say it!
¡No se lo digas! = Don’t tell it to him!
¡No me la traiga! = Don’t bring it to me!
¡No nos acostemos! = Let’s not go to bed!

Object Pronouns follow affirmative
commands and are attached to them.
When attached, an accent mark is usually placed
over the stressed syllable.
Ejemplo:
¡Quédense Uds.!
= Stay!
Otro ejemplo:
¡Váyanse Uds.! =
Go away!

Exception:
When a single object pronoun is
added to a one-syllable command
form, there is no accent mark.
Ejemplos:
¡Dime! = (Tell me!)
¡Hazla! = (Do it!)

Remember:
:
When there is a direct object pronoun
and indirect object pronoun
in the same sentence, the indirect object
goes in front of the direct object.
When the two pronouns are third-person,
change the indirect object pronoun to “se.”

In affirmative “nosotros/as” commands
