Regular Affirmative Spanish Commands edit

An affirmative tú command is the same as the Present Third Person Singular (Él, Ella, Usted) conjugation in present tense.

For Example:

Yo Form Command Yo Form Command

Er and Ir edit

An Er/Ir usted command is formed by dropping the "o" from the Present First Person Singular conjugation (the yo form) and then adding an "a". For example:

Ustedes Commands edit

An ustedes command is formed by adding an "n" to the end of an usted command.

For example:
