The pronoun comes before the verb, mi abbasso, and before the auxiliary: mi sono abbassato. It attaches to commands, abbassati, and to the infinitive and the gerund. A ban to tu has two orders: non abbassarti / non ti abbassare.
Lei, the polite you, takes the form of lui / lei: Lei parla.
After essere, the participle agrees with the subject: andato, andata, andati, andate.
