¡Mandatos!
Termina la frase con el mandato necesario.
¿ Están ustedes enfermos? Pues sientense(sentarse) aquí y no se muevan (moverse). Ya vuelvo con un vaso de agua. that was my assignment and the answers are italicized. what i dont understand is why do i use sientense but not muevanse?

ok so the difference between sentar and sentar se are sentar = to sit and sentarse = sit yourself down right?
so mover = to move moverse = to moveyourself right? so dont sit down is no se sienten or no sientense ARRRRRRRRGH!!! i just GOT it. one is a no and the other is 'not a no' DUH thanks i get it. that's what you were trying to say chileno. now i get it!!!! so with a no phrase with mandatos you have to put the se before the conjugated verb right? |

"se" is not the only pronoun used with pronominal verbs. That depends on the person. The pronouns in red are the ones used in commands. Yo = me Tú = te - muévete / no te muevas Usted = se - muévase / no se mueva Él/ella = se Nosotros = nos - movámosnos /no nos movamos Vosotros = os - moveos / no os mováis Ellos = se

@Pia: Please note that the exclamation mark at the beginning of a sentence ("¡") is not a letter "i". You can use the dropdown menu on top of the dialog box to insert Spanish characters, so the title "IMandatos!" has been changed to "¡Mandatos!".
And "sientense" should rather be "siéntense".
