I know you won't help me with everything. So could you give me a mini lesson when doing these exercises.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Actually I gave you an "in depth" lesson on both the Single-Object Pronoun and then the Double-Object Pronoun.

Did you study them? I wa w aiting for question you might have, but didn't see any.

Affirmative commands = verb + object pronouns + written accent marks.
Negative commands = No, + object pronouns + verb, rarely with a written accent mark.

Now for the correction:

1. ACCENTS! Pónganselos = No se los pongan. NOTE: You can NOT have BOTH positions = before AND after the verb. The model had 2 object pronouns. You must pick them BOTH up and put them in front.

2. Ciérrlas = no las cierre
NOTE: If you need to know how to make accent marks with your computer, I need to know if you have a PC or a MAC, Windows or not. I have a MAC and it's so much easier to make accent marks than with a PC!

3. Espérenme = No me esperen (going from "wait for me" to "don't wait for me." Why were you lost on this one? The main verb is esperar = to wait for / to hope.

4. Enséñeselas = No se las enseñe.

5. Dígame = No me diga (lo que = what and is NOT an object pronoun here)

6. Cuéntamelo = No me lo cuentes. You saw the tú affirmative to give the tú negative, with the vowel change + s.

7. Véndemelos = No me los vende
Actually you got the first ones so I can't see why you suddenly stopped giving answers!

8. Dígame = No me diga

9. Piénsalo = No lo pienses (again tú command with vowel change)

10. Píntela = No la pinte

11. OK, I stop right here! Now, find the pattern, restudy the indepth lessons from the other day, and YOU try the rest! Then I'll check them for you.
