Masculine singular = lo
Feminine singular = la
Masculine plural = los
Feminine plural = las

Add the DOP to the end of the command, then COUNT 3 syllables away from the last syllable of the word with the DOP attached, and put an accent on the 3rd-to-last vowel sound.Eat the fruit Come la fruta Comela
accent added to 3rd-to-last syllable Cómela. (Eat it)

Take the pictures Saca las fotos Sacalas Sácalas. (Take them)
With a formal command, take the opposite ending and add the DOP:
Instead of Sácalas, it’s…SáquelasWrite the letter Escribe la carta Escribela Escríbela ( Write it)Or for ustedes…..Escríbanla

When you want to tell someone NOT to do something, use a negative command. Negative tú commands are formed by taking the ___yo____ form of the present tense, dropping the __o___, and adding the opposite “tú” ending.

If you start with an –AR verb, use the –ER/-IR verb ending for “tú.”
HABLAR -> Hablo -> Habl -> Hables. Final =
___No hables__= don’t talk.

If you start with an –ER or –IR verb, take the AR verb ending for “tú.”
ESCRIBIR-> Escribo -> Escrib -> escribas Final =
__No escribas____ = don’t write.
