Imperatives for Reflexive Verb cepillarse

Question

Is the imperative for 3rd person plural not one word cepíllense ?

Answer

Hola William! Yes, that's right and the imperative form for 3rd person plural of "cepillarse" is "cepíllense". I have just checked the question and the pronoun "se" is already attached to the gap because we are not testing here if students know the reflexive pronouns, only how to conjugate in the imperative form. Hasta pronto! Silvia

Answer

Hola Silvia!

I understand the logic but "cepillen se" is not correct, should you not change the question to "Don't brush your teeth ........." which hopefully is " no se cepillen los dientes ......."

Answer

Hola de nuevo William! The answer "cepíllense" is correct because the lesson is about the imperative in the affirmative form, therefore we cannot use the negative here. Also, as discussed before, the "se" pronoun is stuck to the imperative form in the affirmative form. Hope this clarifies a bit more your doubt. Gracias! Silvia.

Answer

I don't want to be awkward here. I am only trying to be helpful. Perhaps better not to use a reflexive verb here as the answer contradicts the advice given in the following exercise: "Conjugate in El Imperativo with reflexive pronouns (affirmative commands)"

Answer

Hola William! We are adding a little hint to this question saying that the pronoun "se" is already included in the question, and therefore the right answer is "cepíllense" and not "cepíllen se" with a space, in order to make it clearer for students. Silvia.
