Formal Reflexive Commands
What pronoun does one use when commanding someone in the third-person (whether singular or plural) with a reflexive verb?
I know that in second-person, tú, you use the pronoun te: Lávate! But for Usted and Ustedes...? I'm not sure when I would ever command anyone I would refer to as Ud. or Uds. using a reflexive verb, but I suppose I should still learn it. Thanks!

You can use the word Ustedes or usted and only you can use them, and for use the word Te en second person you can use with this examples:
Te recomiendo. No me mal interpretes. No te acerques. No te aceleres. No te animas. No te veo. No te quiero. No lasvaste. A donde lo lavaste. Te tomaste el medicamento. Te acostaste y te dormiste. Te odio. Te quiero. How you can see in these examples the use of the word Te is a lot extended in the language Spanish, note not only are the unit word or phrases that exist n Spanish, it are a lot examples that you can do with the examples that I wrote you.

The pronoun is se. Using the same verb you did, the commands are:

¡callad todos! /¡Cállese usted!/¡Cállense ustedes!" saludos PD: Now the people say "por qué no te callas" .(little quarrel between King Juan Carlos I and Hugo Chavez)
