Look at these sentences with me change when turned into affirmative imperatives:
Tu me montres les éléphants, s'il-te-plaît.
- Papa, montre-moi les éléphants!You show me the elephants, please.
- Daddy, show me the elephants!
- Papa, montre-moi les éléphants!You show me the elephants, please.
- Daddy, show me the elephants!
In affirmative commands, the object pronoun me (as in: Give me that!) follow this pattern:
1- The pronoun me become stress pronoun moi
2- They are placed after the verb with a hyphen in between.
Remember that -ER verbs drop the final "s" in the tu form in L'Impératif. See Conjugate regular verbs in the imperative tense in French (L'Impératif).
