Spanish commands? They dont make any sense to me. Help please.?

Question

I missed a lot of lessons about Spanish commands, and I’m struggling to understand them. I’ve looked up explanations online, but the way people conjugate commands doesn’t seem consistent with what I remember from class. I’m currently doing my homework, and here’s the instruction I’m working on: 
"Indica los mandatos (commands) afirmativos y negativos correspondientes."
Here’s an example provided in the assignment:
- limpiarlo (Ud.)
  - Afirmativo: Límpielo.
  - Negativo: No lo limpie.
Can someone please explain how to form these conjugations, where to place accents, and where to position pronouns like "me," "lo," etc.? I’d really appreciate a clear breakdown!

Hii'm a Spanish native speaker but i'm not really good at putting accents... according to your example, you don't have the worry about me's.... just lo'sas you can see, when the command is negative, you place "lo" right after "no"...i guess the tricky part is for you to learn how to conjugate the verb.....as you know verbs end in AR, ER, IRin order to conjugate let's get rid of those endings..so...limpiar... limpiELOlavar...  lavELOescribir...  escribALObeber... BebALOthus.. if the verb ends in AR you add "elo"... if the verb ends in ER or IR  you add "Alo"... but of course there are exceptions... but that's a general rule..of course, we are talking about USTED commands.... now, you also asked about "me's.... but your example doesn't deal with "me's" but anyways... if you want to add "me's" you would say something likeno me lo digadigamelo...so, for the negative part you would add "me" after "no" for the affirmative part you would just form a word with "me" "lo" and the conjugated verb.. God be with you
