💡 Grammar Points
Why is 'me' at the end?
In Spanish, when you give a direct command to someone, you attach the person receiving the action (me) directly to the end of the verb.
The Mystery Accent Mark
We add an accent mark on the 'é' to make sure the stress stays on the same part of the word ('SAY') even after we add the extra 'me' syllable at the end.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't forget the accent
Mistake: "enseñame"
Correction: enséñame. Without the accent, the rules of Spanish would make you emphasize the 'ña' sound instead of the 'se' sound.
⭐ Usage Tips
Showing vs. Teaching
This word is a 'two-for-one'! Use it for physical objects (Show me your car) and for skills (Teach me to drive).
