A FFIRMATIVE COMMANDS WITH REFLEXIVE VERBS For affirmative commands with reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun that corresponds to the subject (te, se, nos, se) is attached to the command form. When you attach the pronoun, you also need an accent, which is placed over the vowel 3 syllables from the end of the word. This is called the Triple A Procedure ( AAA ): A ffirmative, A ttach, A ccent. Before attaching nos, drop the letter s Levántate; Levántese; Levántense, Levantémonos
