Question

for the informal commands devuelvemelos and cuentanos where is the accent?

Answer 1

The object pronoun endings are added without stress, so the verb's normal stress needs to be preserved. That's why we add the accent.

So devuelve would be naturally accented on the second e, so to preserve that with the endings, it would be

devuélvemelos

You can guess the other word's accent in this same way.
