Hints for this Quiz

Think: in the afirmativo, pronouns stick to the verb, and first comes the indirect (me), then the direct (lo). Add the necessary accent mark.
In the affirmative imperative, pronouns are attached to the verb; the order is always IO + DO: me + lo → “-melo”. To keep the stress from the original form “di”, we add an accent: Dímelo (not Dimelo/Dímeló). The separated form “Dime lo” is incorrect for clitic pronouns. See the rule about pronouns being attached and about stress in the imperativo afirmativo, and the IO+DO order (me/te/se + lo/la/los/las) — dámelo, dígaselo, etc.
This is a “tú” command: form + “te” written together; check the stress (accent mark).
In the afirmativo, the clitic te is attached to the imperative form: Siéntate. The accent mark is needed to preserve the stress (sién-ta-te). See the rule about attaching pronouns in the imperativo afirmativo.
Special case with “nosotros” + “nos”: remove the -s and check the accent mark.
For nosotros with -nos, before “nos” you remove the final -s (vámonos), and you add an accent mark to preserve the stress. Example from the rules: sentémonos; vámonos.
Remember the rule: le/les + lo/la → se + lo/la; everything is written together with the imperative.
When combining IO + DO, “le/les” becomes “se” before lo/la/los/las: a Laura → se; informe → lo. In the afirmativo, clitics are attached to the verb and often require an accent: Dáselo.
First the reflexive (te), then the direct object (la), and everything together; don’t forget the accent mark.
Both pronouns (te + la) are attached to the imperative in the afirmativo: póntela. The accent mark is needed to preserve the stress of the original form “pon”. The separated “Ponte la” is not correct here, because “la” is already a direct-object clitic and must be attached. See the rule on placing clitics after the imperative.
Remember: le/les → se, the order is “se + lo”, and both clitics attach to the verb.
When you have two pronouns together: se (replacing le/les) + lo/la/los/las. In the afirmativo, the clitics go after the verb form: Explíqueselo. The accent mark preserves the stress. The separated options are incorrect. See the rules on “se + lo” and on attaching pronouns to the imperative.
