Forgetting the Accent

Using the Wrong Pronoun

When giving a direct, positive command like this, the little word 'se' (the reflexive pronoun) is always attached to the end of the verb. This makes the word longer.

Affirmative Commands and Pronouns

Because 'se' is added, the original stress of the verb moves back one syllable. The accent mark (é) is added to make sure the stress stays on the 'mue' part: muÉ-van-se.

The Necessary Accent

This command is used when you are telling two or more people to move. It is the plural equivalent of 'muévase' (tell one person to move).

Who is 'ustedes'?

To soften this command, always add 'por favor' (please) or 'un poquito' (a little bit). '¡Muévanse un poquito, por favor!' is much kinder than just '¡Muévanse!'

The Polite Touch

Extremely common command used to tell a group of people to move or hurry up.

'Muévanse' is the imperative (command) form of the reflexive verb 'moverse' (to move oneself), used to tell a group of people to move or get going. Learn its usage, grammar structure, and conjugation.
