Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'muéstrame' have an accent mark?
Spanish rules dictate that when you attach one or more pronouns to an affirmative command, you must add an accent mark to the original stressed vowel of the verb form. This keeps the pronunciation natural and prevents the stress from shifting to the attached pronoun.
How do I say 'Don't show me'?
For negative commands (telling someone NOT to do something), the pronoun 'me' must go *before* the verb. You would say: 'No me muestres.'
