Imperative Direct Objects & Reflexives Spanish Verb Conjugation
Direct objects and reflexive commands work the same for “Ud.”, “Uds.” and “Tú”. However, they are different for positive and negative commands. Let’s take a look at how they work. For positive commands, direct objects and reflexive pronouns come after the verb. They hook right onto the verb and because of that, a written accent mark has to be placed over the stressed vowel. Here are some examples. Feel free to look at the charts if you need to as you go through this lesson for the first time.
