Do reflexive verbs conjugate in the imperative?

Do reflexive verbs conjugate in the imperative?

I don't think they do since you usually don't command yourself to do things, but I could be wrong.

If so is this imperative conjugation for acercarse correct?

-x

-acercaté

-acerquesé

-acerquemonos

-acercados

-acerquensé

Thanks.

All good except for the accent:

acércate, acérquese etc

Here's the full chart from 123teachme

Hope that helps smile

Afirmativo Negativo

Tú acércate, no te acerques

Vosotros, acercaos, no os acerquéis

Usted " acérquese, no se acerque

Ustedes " acérquense, no se acerquen

That link is great! I like how, unlike most other conjugation charts, it provides how you'd say it in English translation for the whole tense. Thanks for the link. - MacFadden, Aug 15, 2010
Also, I'm not 100% sure on this, but "tú acércate" sounds odd to me. I think that when the verb is reflexive, tú must come afterwards. Unless you've heard something else. It doesn't come up very often because having 'te' at the end really makes it clear. - MacFadden, Aug 15, 2010
It could be "tú, acércate" I suppose, but that's not really like having the tú in the command, like "hazlo tú". - MacFadden, Aug 15, 2010
