How do you conjugate alojarse in the affirmative formal command?

I've tried looking online and I can't find anything on the verb 'alojarse'. I have for alojar, but my online homework is asking for the conjugation of alojarSE into the el/ella/usted affirmative formal command. I tried se aloje, but it said I was wrong and that's the only thing I can see that would work.

Update:

I know the conjugation of alojar in the affirmative formal command... My homework is saying to use it as a reflexive (thus, the added 'se' on the end) and I even tried se aloje for my online homework, but it was marked wrong.

Update 2:

alojelo wouldn't make any sense. the lo/la on the end essentially refers to the noun that the verb is referring to; whether it be masculine (lo) or feminine (la).

    The endings for the imperative form are (nearly) identical in reflexive and non-reflexive verbs, EXCEPT, at the end of the imperative form, you add the appropriate reflexive pronoun:

    Lávese las manos. (Ud: wash your hands) ..... Lávense las manos. (Ustedes)

    Lávate. (tu) ..... Lávaos. (vosotros) (the -d from Lávad is dropped)

    Generally, the imperative only exists for "you" forms (tu, vosotros, Ud, Uds), but there is also a 1st person plural which is not always considered an imperative:

    Lavémonos (let's wash our hands) (the final -s of lavemos is dropped)

    Don't forget that you'll have to add an accent on the appropriate syllable of the conjugated verb. When you add the reflexive pronoun, the stress is no longer on the penultimate (next-to-last) syllable. In your example:

    Alójese (Ud), alójense (Uds)

    Hi

    first of all, in spanish all verbs end with

    ar

    er

    ir

    however, you can still identify a verb even if ends with "se" or "ando"

    this is how you would conjugate the verb alojar, in affirmative formal command for el, ella , usted

    aloje

    ok,

    how about

    alojelo for el, usted

    alojela for ella, usted
