Hi, and welcome to the forum. - Jeremias, Oct 21, 2011
Another grammar rule you may be interested in is proper capitalization and punctuation, it is mandatory on the forum. - Yeser007, Oct 21, 2011

¡"¡Déjame (hacer algo)!" is commonly used to say "Let me (do something)."

"¡Háblame por favor!" would mean "Please, talk to me."

"Cierra la puerta!" = Shut the door.

These are all examples of the imperative form of the verb, in these cases the 3rd person informal command.

Imperative

is one of many lessons you will find by googling "Spanish imperative."

Isn't that the 2nd person informal...? - pesta, Oct 21, 2011

I think "¡Déja me ir!" would be good for "Let me go!"

You would change the "me" to the other pronouns for different persons/numbers.

"Hablame, por favor!" for "Talk to me!"
