Study Notes

Informal Commands Overview

  • Used with individuals addressed as "tú".
  • Divided into affirmative and negative commands, each with distinct formation rules.

Affirmative Informal Commands

  • Formed by conjugating the verb in the third person singular present indicative.
  • Examples:
    • Hablar → Habla
    • Guardar → Guarda
    • Volver → Vuelve
    • Pedir → Pide
    • Decir → Di (irregular)
    • Hacer → Haz (irregular)
    • Ir/Ver → Ve
    • Poner → Pon
    • Salir → Sal (irregular)
    • Tener → Ten (irregular)
    • Venir → Ven (irregular)
    • Ser → Sé (irregular)
  • Pronouns are attached to the end of the command, requiring accents if the resulting word exceeds three syllables (e.g., escríbeles).

Negative Informal Commands

  • Formed by combining "no" plus the pronoun plus the command.
  • Formation Steps:
    • Start with the present indicative yo form.
    • Remove the -o ending.
    • Add the opposite ending: -ar to -es; -er/ir to -as.
  • Examples:
    • Hablar → No hables
    • Guardar → No guardes
    • Volver → No vuelvas
    • Pedir → No pidas
    • Tener → No tengas
    • Ir → No vayas (irregular)
    • Ser → No seas (irregular)
    • Saber → No sepas (irregular)
    • Estar → No estés (irregular)
    • Dar → No des (irregular)

Spelling Changes in Negative Commands

  • Necessary for verbs ending in certain patterns:
    • -car, c → qu
    • -gar, g → gu
    • -zar, z → c
