Frequently Asked Questions

How do I say 'Don't follow me'?

Since 'sígueme' is a positive command, the pronoun is attached. For a negative command, you separate the pronoun and put it before the verb: 'No me sigas' (for tú) or 'No me siga' (for usted).

Why does 'sígueme' have an accent mark?

The accent mark is necessary because when you add a pronoun (like 'me') to a two-syllable command (like 'sigue'), the natural stress shifts. The accent keeps the stress on the first syllable ('SÍ-gue-me') so it sounds correct.
