When conjugating tu, ud, uds, and nosotros commands for organizarlo, where would the accents go? Is there a rule?

Question

How would one conjugate affirmative tu, ud, uds, and nosotors commands for organizarlo and escribirsela? Is there a rule as to where to put the accents?

Thanks

There is no such word as ud., uds. When abbreviated they must be capitalized. Ud., Uds. - 0074b507, Jul 13, 2011

tú, nosotros escribírsela (typing's a pain, isn't it?) - 0074b507, Jul 13, 2011

Answer 1

But why is the nosotros form "Organicémonos" with the accent on the e?

The nosotros command before attaching the reflexive pronoun=organicemos (1st person, plural, present tense, subjunctive mood) Stress on the "e" (grave...word ends in vowel, n,s).

When adding the reflexive pronoun nos to nosotros commands the final s is dropped before the nos is attached.

organicemonos

You want the stress to stay on the "e" where it was originally before the pronoun was added (it is now on the "2nd "o" so you must add an accent mark on the é.

organicémonos

Answer 2

The accents in command forms are used to maintain the original accent of the command, before you add any direct/indirect objects.

Organiza! (the accent falls naturally on the "i")

Organízalo! (the accent is put on the "i", for otherwise the natural accent would shift to the "za")

The difference between "organízase" and "organizase". One is a pronomial command, the other is a form of the subjunctive imperfect.

Now that you know the rule, you can apply it yourself

Add: Organicemos has it's natural accent on the "e", and so it is accented. Nosotros commands are going to have different accents because they have a different amount of syllables.

Answer 3

Start with these then attach the pronouns (affirmative commands only) and figure out where the accents go.
