Negative ‘Tú’ Commands

For regular ‘-ar’ verbs:

Go from the “yo” form of the present tense, drop the “o” , and add the opposite letter ending ES

Example: Don’t dance! – ¡No bailes! Don’t swim! - ¡No nades!

For regular ‘-er’ and ‘-ir’ verbs:

Go from the “yo” form of the present tense, drop the “o” , and add the opposite letter ending AS

Example: Don’t eat! – ¡No comas! Don’t write! - ¡No escribas!

I. Watch out for the stem changers! You still stem change in the negative

commands—they stem change like we did in the present tense.

Example: Don’t sleep! - ¡No duermas! Don’t think! -¡No pienses!

II. For irregular ‘yo’ verbs, you must observe the irregular ‘yo’ pattern.

So conjugate to 1st person from the present tense, drop the “O” , and add

opposite letter endings.

Example: Don’t leave! - ¡No salgas! (salgo) Don’t bring it! - ¡No lo traigas! (traigo)

|Hacer = hago( no hagas |Ver = veo ( no veas |Salir= salgo ( no salgas |

|Traer= traigo( no traigas |Conocer= conozco( no conozcas |Tener= tengo ( no tengas |

|Conducir= conduzco( no conduzcas |Poner= pongo ( no pongas |Decir= digo ( no digas |

|Venir= vengo( no vengas |Seguir= sigo( no sigas |Suponer=supongo( no supongas |

V. Watch out for these irregular spellings to preserve the sounds!

1.When a “z” is followed by the letters “es”, you change the “z” to a “c” and then add “es”

Don’t start! ¡No comiences! OR ¡no empieces! Or Don’t cross! ¡No cruces!

2. When “c” is followed by the letters “es”, you change the “c” to a “q” and then add “ues”

Don’t touch! ¡No toques! Don’t practice! ¡No practiques! Don’t look ! ¡No busques!

3. The “gu” and the “qu” stay together when followed by -ES.

Don’t play! ¡No juegues! Don’t pay! ¡No pagues! Don’t arrive! ¡No llegues!

VI. Watch out for these irregulars! You need to memorize them.

Ir = To go ( Don’t go! = ¡No vayas!

Ser = To be ( Don’t be! = ¡No seas!

Estar= to be [L] ( Don’t be!= ¡No estés!

Saber = to know ( Don’t know ! = ¡No sepas!

Dar = to give ( Don’t give ! = ¡No des!

VII. All pronouns must be placed before negative commands. [no/indirect/direct/neg. command= No IDC]

Don’t sell the car to me! Don’t take a bath! Don’t look at me!

¡No me lo vendas! ¡No te bañes! ¡No me mires!
