3 When using commands in Spanish, there are two types: 1) Affirmative = TO DO SOMETHING 2) Negative = NOT TO DO SOMETHING

4 To form the AFFIRMATIVE: 1) Begin with the infinitive of the verb 2) Take off the ending (ar, er, ir) 3) Add: AR = -a ER = -e IR = -e *Note: The Tú form command is the same as the regular Ud. Form present tense.

5 HABLAR  HABL__  = HABLA Comer  Com__  = Come

6 1) Eat the sandwich! ¡Come la sándwich! 2) Clean your bedroom! ¡Limpia tu dormitorio! 3) Wear a jacket! ¡Lleva una chaqueta!

8 1. venir =ven 2. decir = di 3. salir = sal 4. hacer = haz 5. tener = ten 6. ir = ve 7. poner = pon 8. ser = sé

9 To form the Informal NEGATIVE Command (To tell somebody to NOT DO something): 1) Take the YO FORM, PRESENT TENSE of the verb 2) Take off the ending (-o) 3) Add AR = -es IR = -as ER = -as *Note: You also need to put “No” before each verb

10 Hablar  Hablo   Habl__ = No hables Comer  Como   Com__ = No comas
