This works the same for both T and Ud./Uds. commands!!
In AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS the pronoun FOLLOWS the verb (at the end)Is ATTACHED
In NEGATIVE COMMANDS the pronounGoes BEFORE the verbIt stands alone

Cules pronombres se debe usar??You can use DIRECT, INDIRECT, and REFLEXIVE pronouns
DIRECT: me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, lasINDIRECT: me, te, le, nos, os, lesREFLEXIVE: me, te, se, nos, os, se
