Tú Affirmative Commands
[Pages:2]T? Affirmative Commands
Informal or familiar (t?) commands are used when talking to people you know well.
To form the t? command, use the third person singular (?l/ella) of the present indicative.
EXAMPLE:
(cantar) Canta la canci?n. (comer) Come la ensalada. (vivir) Vive en la ciudad.
Sing the song. Eat the salad. Live in the city.
There are several irregular forms.
decir......di.......... tell hacer.....haz ....... do tener .....ten........ have poner ....pon ....... put salir.......sal ........ leave
venir......ven .... come dar ........da...... give ir...........ve ...... go ser ........s? ...... be
EXAMPLE:
?S? a tiempo! ?Hazlo! ?Pon la mesa! ?Ten cuidado! ?Haz ejercicio! ?Sal en seguida!
Be on time! Do it! Set the table! Be careful! Exercise! Leave immediately!
NOTE: If an exclamation point is used at the end of the sentence, you must place an inverted one at the beginning of the sentence.
With all affirmative commands, the object pronouns attach to the end of the verb, including reflexive verbs.
EXAMPLE:
Compra el anillo. C?mpralo. C?mpramelo.
Buy the ring. Buy it. Buy it for me.
Hazlo. H?zmelo.
Do it. (one pronoun, no accent required) Do it for me. (two pronouns, accent required)
vestirse (to get dressed)
V?stete.
Get (yourself) dressed.
NOTES: 1. Indirect object pronouns come before direct object pronouns. Remember that le or
les changes to se if it comes before lo, la, los or las. 2. In order to maintain the original stress of the verb, a written accent mark is required
over the stressed syllable of the verb if that syllable is followed by two or more syllables.
T? Negative Commands
Informal or familiar (t?) commands are used when talking to people you know well.
To form the t? negative command, do the following three steps:
1. Take the first person (yo) form and drop the last letter (o). 2. Put on the opposite "t?" ending (-ar es; -er/-ir as). 3. Put "no" before the verb.
EXAMPLE:
(cantar) No cantes la canci?n. (comer) No comas la ensalada. (vivir) No vivas en la ciudad. (poner) No pongas la mesa.
Don't sing the song. Don't eat the salad. Don't live in the city. Don't set the table.
NOTE: Verbs which are irregular in the affirmative forms become regular in the negative forms.
With all negative t? commands, the object pronouns are placed before the conjugated verb even with reflexive verbs.
EXAMPLE:
No compres el anillo. No lo compres. No me lo compres.
Don't buy the ring. Don't buy it. Don't buy it for me.
vestirse (to get dressed)
No te vistas todav?a.
Don't get dressed yet.
NOTE: Indirect object pronouns come before direct object pronouns. Remember that le or les changes to se if it comes before lo, la, los or las.
