Where do pronouns go with affirmative commands, and in what order?
Attached to the end as one word, in RID order: Reflexive, Indirect, Direct (Dímelo, Póntelo).
Accent heuristic for one-syllable commands + pronouns
One pronoun → no accent (dime, ponlo, hazlo); two pronouns → always an accent (dímelo, póntelo, házmelo, ténmelo).
Why does sé (ser) carry an accent?
To distinguish it from the pronoun se; it also shares spelling with sé 'I know' (saber), sorted by context.
Say in Spanish: Go away / Do it now / Come here
Vete (no accent) / Hazlo ahora / Ven aquí
