# Brief Explanations:
In Spanish tú commands, for affirmative commands (yes command) with direct/indirect/reflexive pronouns, we attach the pronoun (e.g., "Cómelo" from "Come + lo"). For negative commands (no command), we place the pronoun before the verb (e.g., "No lo comas" from "No + comas + lo"). So the correct pair is "yes command yes attach; no command yes attach" is incorrect, wait, re - evaluating: Wait, in negative tú commands with pronouns, we have "No + pronoun + verb (command form)". In affirmative, we attach the pronoun to the command. Wait, the options: Let's re - check. The correct rule is: Affirmative tú commands (yes command) with pronouns: attach the pronoun (e.g., Cómelo). Negative tú commands (no command) with pronouns: place the pronoun between "no" and the command verb (e.g., No lo comas). Wait, the options given: Wait the second option set: "yes command yes attach; no command yes attach" is wrong. Wait no, maybe I misread. Wait the first option: "yes command yes attach; no command don't attach" – no, in negative, we do use the pronoun, just place it differently. Wait the correct rule is: For tú commands: Affirmative: attach the pronoun (e.g., Cómelo = Come + lo). Negative: use "no" + pronoun + command (e.g., No lo comas = No + lo + comas). So in terms of "attach": in affirmative, we attach (yes command, yes attach). In negative, we don't attach (we place before), so "no command don't attach"? Wait no, the pronoun is still used, just not attached. Wait the options: The first option is " - yes command yes attach; - no command don't attach". The second is " - yes command yes attach; - no command yes attach". Wait, no, in negative tú commands with pronouns, the structure is "No + pronoun + verb (command)". So the pronoun is not attached to the verb (like in affirmative), but placed before the verb (after "no"). So for affirmative (yes command), we attach the pronoun (yes attach). For negative (no command), we do not attach the pronoun (don't attach) – we place it separately. Wait, but the pronoun is still used. So the correct option set is the first one? No, wait no – the pronoun is used in both, but in affirmative it's attached, in negative it's placed before. So the first option: "yes command yes attach; no command don't attach" is correct? Wait no, let's take an example. Affirmative: "Come el pan" → with pronoun "lo": "Cómelo" (attach "lo" to "come"). Negative: "No comes el pan" → with pronoun "lo": "No lo comas" (place "lo" between "no" and "comas" – not attached to "comas"). So in affirmative, attach (yes command, yes attach). In negative, we use the pronoun, but don't attach (place it before), so "no command" (negative) – do we "attach"? No, we place it before. So the first option: "yes command yes attach; no command don't attach" – but wait, the pronoun is still used. Wait the options are phrased as "yes command yes attach; no command don't attach" (first option) and "yes command yes attach; no command yes attach" (second). Wait, no, in negative, we do use the pronoun, so "no command" still has the pronoun, but the attachment: in affirmative, attached; in negative, not attached. So the correct option is the second set? No, I'm confused. Wait, maybe the question is about "attach" – in affirmative, attach (yes). In negative, do we attach? No, we place before. So "no command" – do we attach? No, so "no command don't attach". But the second option says "no command yes attach" – which is wrong. Wait, maybe the question has a typo, but based on Spanish tú command rules: Affirmative tú commands with pronouns: attach the pronoun (yes command, yes attach). Negative tú commands with pronouns: use "no" + pronoun + command (so the pronoun is not attached to the command verb, so "no command" – don't attach the pronoun). So the first option's two parts: "yes command yes attach" (correct for affirmative) and "no command don't attach" (correct for negative, as we don't attach the pronoun to the verb, we place it before). So the correct option is the first one? Wait no, the first option's second part is "no command don't attach" – but we do use the pronoun, just not attach. So the answer should be the first option? Wait, no, let's check the options again. The first option: " - yes command yes attach; - no command don't attach". The second: " - yes command yes attach; - no command yes attach". Based on Spanish grammar, for tú commands:

- Affirmative (yes command): Attach the direct/indirect/reflexive pronoun to the end of the command verb (e.g., "Cómelo" from "Come" + "lo"). So "yes command yes attach" is correct.

- Negative (no command): Use "No" + pronoun + command verb (e.g., "No lo comas" from "No" + "lo" + "comas"). Here, the pronoun is not attached to the command verb (it's placed between "No" and the verb), so "no command don't attach" (we don't attach the pronoun to the verb, we place it separately). So the first option is correct? Wait, but the pronoun is still used, so "don't attach" refers to not attaching to the verb, which is correct. So the correct option is the first one? Wait, no, the user's options: Wait the first option is:

- yes command yes attach

- no command don't attach

The second is:

- yes command yes attach

- no command yes attach

So the correct answer is the first option? No, wait I think I made a mistake. Wait, in negative tú commands, the pronoun is used, but the structure is "No + pronoun + verb". So the pronoun is not attached to the verb (like in affirmative), so "no command" – we don't attach the pronoun (to the verb), so "don't attach" is correct for negative. And "yes command" – we do attach, so "yes attach" is correct. So the first option is correct. Wait, but let's confirm with a source. In Spanish, for tú commands:

Affirmative:

- Regular: Take the "él/ella" form of the present indicative, drop the "s" (for - ar verbs: "hablar" → "habla" (él habla) → drop "s" → "habla" (tú command: ¡Habla!); for - er/- ir: "comer" → "come" (él come) → drop "s" → "come" (tú command: ¡Come!); "vivir" → "vive" (él vive) → drop "s" → "vive" (tú command: ¡Vive!).

- With pronouns: Attach the pronoun to the end (e.g., "Come el pan" → "Cómelo" (Come + lo)).

Negative:

- Regular: Use "No" + "tú" command form (which is the "yo" form of present subjunctive, without "yo" + "s"? Wait no, tú negative command is "no" + present subjunctive tú form. Wait, "comer" → present subjunctive tú: "comas" → negative command: "No comas".

- With pronouns: "No" + pronoun + present subjunctive tú form (e.g., "No comas el pan" → "No lo comas" (No + lo + comas)).

So in affirmative, pronoun is attached (yes command, yes attach). In negative, pronoun is placed before the verb (not attached), so "no command" – don't attach the pronoun (to the verb). So the first option is correct: "yes command yes attach; no command don't attach".
