Commands and Pronoun Attachment

When you give an affirmative command (telling someone to do something), you attach the object pronouns directly to the verb form. 'Danos' is the command 'da' (give) plus the pronoun 'nos' (us).

Stress and Accent Marks

Because the original command 'da' is only one syllable, no written accent mark is needed on 'danos', even though the stress falls on the first syllable (DA-nos).

Placement in Negative Commands

Mistake:No danos la respuesta. (Incorrect word order)

Correction: No nos des la respuesta. (The pronoun 'nos' goes *before* the verb in negative commands.)
