Spanish conjugation explanation
Reflexive imperative (affirmative)

Practice conjugations

<p>When forming reflexive imperative (affirmative) commands, <strong>the reflexive pronouns must be attached to the end</strong> of the verb forms. There are three further rules that we have to keep in mind:</p>

<ul>

<li>When the verb form has at least 3 syllables, we have to put an <strong>accent mark on the vowel in the third-to-last syllable</strong>.

<div style="font-size: 1.4rem;">There's an exception to this rule: the <strong>vosotros forms do not require the accent mark</strong>. However, reflexive -ir verbs do require an accent on the letter I in their vosotros form (e.g., vestirse → vest<strong style="text-decoration: underline;">í</strong>os!).</div>

</li>

<li>The <strong>nosotros form loses the S</strong> before the pronoun (the ending is <strong>-monos</strong> instead of <strong>-mosnos</strong>).</li>

<li>The <strong>vosotros form loses the D</strong> before the pronoun.</li>

</ul>

<p>Keeping these rules in mind, let's have a look at the conjugations of <strong style="font-style: italic;">prepararse</strong> (=to get ready), <strong style="font-style: italic;">esconderse</strong> (=to hide oneself) and <strong style="font-style: italic;">decidirse</strong> (=to decide):</p>
