💡 Grammar Points
Merging Words
In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something directly (a command), the person receiving the action—the 'me' in 'follow me'—gets attached right to the end of the action word.
Formal Tone
The 'siga' part of this word is the polite 'usted' form. Use this with people you don't know well or in professional settings like restaurants and hotels.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Word Order
Mistake: "Me siga."
Correction: Sígame. In positive commands, the 'me' must go at the end, not before the word.
⭐ Usage Tips
The Accent Mark
When we add 'me' to the end of 'siga', we add an accent mark on the 'í' to make sure the word still sounds like 'SEE-gah-meh' instead of 'see-GAH-meh'.
