In the affirmative imperative, pronouns follow the verb and are connected to it and to one another with hyphens, in this order:
| 1 | 2 . . . 3 | ||||||
| le | moi toi lui nous vous leur |
||||||
| Imperative | – | la | – | – | y | ||
| les | en | ||||||
Par exemple…
| Montre-le-moi. | Show it to me. | |
| Donnons-la-leur. | Let’s give it to them. | |
| Emmenez-les-y. | Take them there. | |
| Donne-m’en. | Give me some. |
Remember that moi and toi are stressed forms that can only be used when at the end of the command. When they precede y or en, they revert back to me and teand are therefore obliged to contract to m’ and t’.
