Imperatives and Pronouns

• Just like with reflexive verbs, Direct Object Pronouns (their person who receives the action) follows the Imperative Verb (commands)

• Invite-moi

• Offrez-nous l’assistance

• Donne-moi

• Prête-moiIt’s true, however, that since you will be making commands for yourself and others, you would not command one to make oneself the recipient very often, that would be the reflexive.

In other words: MOI, and NOUS will be used in this fashion, not TOI or VOUS
