appropriately, ex: 1st, 2nd and 3rd person and

• It is used to indicate when you want to include for in a
sentence to emphasize possesion or belonging in most
cases.

Ex (between verb and subject): Tú le escribas las cartas.
Ex (attached to an infinitive): Ellos va a comprarte los flores.
Ex (before the DOP): Yo te lo compro.

tense

an affirmative command
Place the pronoun
before the conjugated
verb
