038 Spanish Commands

To form Spanish commands, the tú form drops the final -s and the vosotros form changes the final -r of the infinitive to -d. The other forms (Usted, Ustedes, nosotros) use the present subjunctive. Nosotros is used for "Let's". Negative commands use "no" plus the present subjunctive. There are 8 irregular verbs for the tú form and several irregular stems that appear in commands. Verbs ending in -car, -gar, or -zar change c to qu, g to gu, and z to c in commands.

Verbs that end in -car, -gar and -zar have the following changes in commands as well: c becomes qu, g becomes gu, and z becomes c. Affirmative t Usted nosotros vosotros Ustedes Negative t Usted nosotros vosotros Ustedes -ar -es -e -emos -is -en -er or -ir -as -a -amos -is -an -ar -a -e -emos -ad -en -er or -ir -e -a -amos -ed / -id -an
