In Spanish, pronouns that can be attached to the end of affirmative commands include direct object pronouns (me, te, lo/la, nos, os, los/las), indirect object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, os, les), and reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, se). Here are a few examples of common commands:

• "Dime" (Tell me) - The verb "decir" (to tell) becomes "dime" with the direct object pronoun "me" attached to the end.

• "Hazlo" (Do it) - The verb "hacer" (to do) becomes "hazlo" with the direct object pronoun "lo" attached to the end.

• "Cómetelo" (Eat it) - The verb "comer" (to eat) becomes "cómetelo" with the indirect object pronoun “te” and the direct object pronoun "lo" attached to the end.

• "Dámelos" (Give them to me) - The verb "dar" (to give) becomes "dámelos" with the indirect object pronoun "me" and the direct object pronoun "los" attached to the end.

Placing direct object pronouns In affirmative commands or imperatives, the direct object pronoun is attached to the end of the verb. For example, “Cómpralo” means “Buy it,” with “lo” appended to the verb “comprar” (to buy).
