¿ Puedo comerme los bombones?

Why the accent is put on the first e? Comer, command (tú) = come,accent is on O.But why

put te+los, then the accent is moved to the first e?

Sí,comételos.

I think the accent is to put on the next to last, for example, trabAjo, so, I think here, should put be cometélos, but why it´s comételos? I am confused.

The pronouns stuck onto the end of the word are atonic--that is, they are never stressed--and a tilde is added to keep the stress on the syllable that had it before the pronouns were added. It should be cómetelos; comételos would be the imperative of cometer.

That's why I voted this, to check it (as I've been to the bar and back, lol) her book seems like rubbish. - jeezzle, Feb 14, 2011
