Regular Affirmative Spanish Commands edit
Spanish commands can vary based on if they are singular or plural and their formality.
Tú Commands edit
An affirmative tú command is the same as the Present Third Person Singular (Él, Ella, Usted) conjugation in present tense.
For Example:
Ar | ER | Ir | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stem + a | Stem + e | Stem + e | |||
Habla | Speak | Come | Eat | Escribe | Write |
Usted Commands edit
Ar edit
An Ar usted command is formed by dropping the "o" from the Present First Person Singular conjugation (the yo form) and then adding an "e". For Example:
Hablar - To speak | Comprar - To buy | ||
---|---|---|---|
Yo Form | Command | Yo Form | Command |
Hablo | Hable | Compro | Compre |
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:
Beber - To drink | Vivir - To live | ||
---|---|---|---|
Yo Form | Command | Yo Form | Command |
Bebo | Beba | Vivo | Viva |
Ustedes Commands edit
An ustedes command is formed by adding an "n" to the end of an usted command.
For example:
Hablar - To speak | Compartir - To share | ||
---|---|---|---|
Ud. Command | Uds. Command | Ud. Command | Uds. Command |
Hable | Hablen | Comparta | Compartan |
