💡 Grammar Points

The 'Me' at the end

In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something directly, small words like 'me' get stuck right onto the end of the action word.

Why the accent?

We add an accent to the 'í' to make sure the emphasis stays on the right part of the word even after we've added 'me' to the end.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgetting the accent

Mistake: "avisame"

Correction: avísame. Without the accent, the pronunciation would change incorrectly. Always include the accent when attaching 'me' to the command 'avisa'.

⭐ Usage Tips

Use it with friends

This is the informal version. If you are talking to a boss or a stranger, use 'avíseme' instead.
