The 'Me' at the end

In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something directly, small words like 'me' get stuck right onto the end of the action word.

Why the accent?

We add an accent to the 'í' to make sure the emphasis stays on the right part of the word even after we've added 'me' to the end.

Forgetting the accent

Mistake:avisame

Correction: avísame. Without the accent, the pronunciation would change incorrectly. Always include the accent when attaching 'me' to the command 'avisa'.
