When forming (+) commands with double object pronouns, you also attach the pronouns to the end of the command. ​

IOP's before DOP's​

lavarse las manos (lávatelas)​

Double Object

With verbs like ''lavarse'', the pronouns ''se'' will change to ''te''.

The pronoun will also be attached to the end of the command. ​(lávate)

Reflexives

Mandatos (+) w/ pronouns

In both cases, when attaching a pronoun to the end of a command, an accent will be gained in the second to last syllable of the word.

Mandatos negativos (-)

How do you tell someone what NOT to do?

• Forma de yo (1st person singular in the present tense)

• Quita -o (take off the -o)

• Cámbialo​ (change it to the opposite vowel)

  • a-e

  • e/i- a​

• Add an ''s''​

Remember: it maintains the original irregularity (-go/stem-change etc.)

Whether you are using an IOP a DOP or both, they will be placed BEFORE the command.

​

(cambiar) la llanta para él

no se la cambies​

​

​Object pronouns

​

Because the command is directed to ''you'', the reflexive pronoun will change to ''te''.

​

It will be placed BEFORE the command.​ (mirarse) no te mires

Reflexivos

Mandatos (-) w/ pronouns

Negative commands will start with ''No'' regardless.​
