Why is the last sentence written as "y no abusemos de ellas"? I thought that it should be "no las abusemos". Is there a rule for when you put "de ellas" at the end of the sentence? I thought that you weren't allowed to have pronouns on the end of sentences in Spanish.
When do you use "de ellas" (de + pronoun) ?

Hola Kimberley
the verb abusar in Spanish is used with the preposition "de" unlike in English (no preposition).
We say "abusar de algo" or "abusar de alguien". If used with a pronoun, you need these pronouns:
mí, ti, él, ella, usted, nosotros/-as, vosotros/-as, ellos/-as
For example:
Estás abusando de mí.
El alcohol es malo. No abuses de él.
El jefe nos explota en el trabajo. Está abusando de nosotros.
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
Inma
