💡 Grammar Points

Command + Pronoun Rule

When giving a positive command, the small words (pronouns) like 'me' (to me) are always attached directly to the end of the verb. 'Sigan' (Follow, plural command) + 'me' = 'Síganme'.

The Necessary Accent Mark

Adding the pronoun 'me' changes where the natural stress falls. The accent mark (tilde) over the 'í' in 'síganme' is crucial; it tells you to keep the stress on the first syllable, otherwise it would sound like 'sigánme'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgetting the Accent

Mistake: "siganme"

Correction: síganme. Without the accent, the stress shifts to the 'a' syllable, which is incorrect for this command.

Separating the Pronoun

Mistake: "Sigan a mí"

Correction: Síganme. When using the command form, the pronoun 'me' must be attached to the verb, not separated.

⭐ Usage Tips

Formal vs. Informal Plural

This form uses the 'ustedes' command ('sigan'), which is the standard plural 'you' in all Latin American countries and the formal plural in Spain. If addressing friends in Spain, the command would be 'seguidme'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the verb change from 'e' to 'i' in 'síganme'?

The verb 'seguir' (to follow) is irregular. In many forms, like this command, the 'e' in the middle of the stem changes to an 'i'. This is called a stem-changing verb, and it happens in many common Spanish verbs.

How would I say 'Don't follow me' to a group?

For negative commands, the pronoun 'me' goes *before* the verb and the word 'no' is used. You would say: 'No me sigan.' (Notice there is no accent mark in the negative form.)
