nosotros commands  



Gramática
Nosotros commands are the equivalent of Let's plus a verb
in English, for example, Let's dance!. They may be formed
with the subjunctive. As with all command forms, object
pronouns are attached to the end of affirmative forms.

The nosotros form of the present subjunctive can be used
to express both affirmative and negative nosotros commands.

Examples:
¡Hablemos de otra cosa!
Let's talk about something else!

¡Comamos afuera esta noche!
Let's eat out tonight!

¡Vivamos en paz!
Let's live in peace!

¡No se lo digamos!
Let's not tell (it to) him/her/them!

Gramática
Note!
1) if object pronouns are used, they must be attached
to the end of affirmative commands, and this will always require a
written accent in the nosotros forms to maintain the correct inflection.
2) the first s of the affirmative reflexive ending is lost, that
is -mosnos becomes -monos as in ¡Durmámonos! (Let's go to sleep!)
3) when se (representing the pronoun le or les before another
object pronoun beginning with the letter l) is attached to the end
of an affirmative command, the resulting ss is reduced to s

Examples:

¡Sentémonos!
Let's sit down!

¡Démoselo!
Let's give it to him/her/them!

¡Mandémoselo! (not ¡Mandémosselo!)
Let's send it to him/her/them!
