Los Mandatos de Nosotros

[Pages:2]Los Mandatos de Nosotros ("Let's" commands)

1. The first-person plural (nosotros) command is the same as the nosotros form of the present subjunctive.

Salgamos. ? Let's go out. Hablemos del viaje. ? Let's talk about the trip. Trabajemos ahora y descansemos m?s tarde. ? Let's work now and rest later. No compremos m?s regalos. ? Let's not buy any more gifts.

2. The affirmative command form of "ir" is "vamos", although the negative command still takes the subjunctive, "no vayamos".

Vamos al cine. ? Let's go to the movies. No vayamos a ese sitio. ? Let's not go to that place.

3. In expressing the affirmative "Let's..." with a reflexive verb, the final ?s of the verb is dropped before adding the reflexive pronoun "nos". An accent is placed on the stressed syllable.

Sent?monos. ? Let's sit down. (Sentemos + nos) V?monos. ? Let's go. (Vamos+nos)
