When conjugating reflexive verbs for nosotros in the imperative, how would I do that in both a negative and affirmative situation? Where's the accent? Please can somebody please explain this and give me three or four examples?

With the tú conjugations in the affirmative, when it's conjugated in the imperative if it's a reflexive verb does it get an accent somewhere, and would you attach the ending to it or would it be at the beginning? Like... sientate or te sienta? accent? Actually, should I do this in the Ud. form as well? Please give me examples for these.

One last question. For the tu conjugation do you attach personal pronouns to the end? I know that for regular situations you only attach it to the conjugated verbs, with the indirect object pronoun coming first. Does this change in the imperative mood for affirmative tu commands? Can you give examples for different situations please? Do you add these to Ud. or not?

I know this is a long, hard question, but thanks everyone!

Let's take this in parts.
The enclitic pronouns will be attached only in the possitive command: "diLE". When you have a negative command, they come first, as a separate word: "no LE digas".
Now... the stress. First, determine where it is in the command without the enclitic. For this, you'll need to know the rules for placing the accent marks. Let's take "pegar". The imperative is "pega". With this spelling, you know the stress is in the "a". If you add the enclitic (attached at the ends ,as this is a possitive command), you'll have "pegale", BUT, by the rules I mentioned earlier, as the stressed sylable remains the same, you need to show it with the accent mark, thus the correct word is "pégale". This happens to all verbs. The stress ramains in the same place.
In the example you mention, the imperative is "siéntate". If we had a reflexive verbe in this case, it'd be "sienta" (the stress falls in the first syllable and ends in "a", thus it has no accent mark). When you add the enclitic, it gets the accent mark.
for the last question, yes, IF and only if it is a possitive command (lol all your questions are the same). And they follow the same patter you describe: first the indirect object. "Díselo",
"pregúntaselo".
If you are using usted: "Dígaselo", "pregúnteselo".

Take any reflexive verb e.g. levantarse (to upward push up) you need to take the 'yo' type of the se section it really is 'me' and used the 'yo' endings so that you get me levante (which accessory aigu on e) With instructions you in basic terms do: come tu (devour) no comas tu (do not devour) a favorable command has 'e' as an finishing and a adverse has 'as' + no.

Tu estudias? El estudia. Tu no estudias? Nosotros estudiamos.
Usted lee? Nosotros leemos? This is hard to tell without speaking, but you should change the accent: when asking, put the accent on both words, first on tu and then on the verb, affirmative mood you should try to not put an accent on tu, and try to give the phrase just one accent. Hope it helps!!!

For example: Lets sit down: sen-TÉ-mo-nos
Lets not sit down: no nos sen-TE-mos
You, Sit down! Tú, SIÉN-ta te
(All of you), sit down! (Todos ustedes), SIÉN-ten- se
You, sit her down! SIÉN-ta -la!

Love me!: Á -ma- me!
Don't love me! :No me A-mes!
Love yourselves: A men-se!
You, Love him! Á-ma-lo!
