💡 Grammar Points

Command Form + Pronoun

This word is the friendly command form ('tú' imperative) of the verb 'seguir' (sigue) with the pronoun 'me' (me) attached directly to the end.

The Accent Rule

When you attach a pronoun (like 'me') to a command, you often need to add a written accent (tílde) to keep the stress on the original syllable. If we didn't add it, it would be pronounced 'si-GUE-me' instead of 'SÍ-gue-me'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Incorrect Pronoun Placement

Mistake: "Me sigue."

Correction: ¡Sígueme! When you give a direct, positive command, the 'me' pronoun must always be glued to the end of the verb.

⭐ Usage Tips

Formal vs. Informal

If you are speaking to someone you should address formally (like a boss or an elder), you must use 'Sígame' (the Usted command form) instead of 'Sígueme'.

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.
