Affirmative Commands
Direct and indirect objects are attached to the command. An accent must be added to the verb to maintain the correct stress pronunciation. When direct and indirect objects are used together, the indirect always comes first. Examples:
No me hables.
Don't talk to me.
No se lo digas.
Don't tell it to her. (referring to el secreto)
Come la manzana. ¡Cómela!
Eat the apple. Eat it!
Negative Commands
For negative commands, the pronouns are put before the verb. Again, the indirect object pronoun comes before the direct object pronoun. Examples:
¡Dámela!
Give it to me! (the apple)
