MANDATOS AFIRMATIVOS
• To give commands to people other than tú and to more
than one person, use the Ud. and Uds. commands.
• To form Ud. commands, change the verb to the ‘yo’
form in the present tense. Drop the –o. For AR verbs,
add –e. For ER/IR verbs, add –a.

MANDATOS AFIRMATIVOS
• Attach reflexive, direct, and indirect
object pronouns to the end of affirmative
commands. Add an accent mark to show
that the stress remains in the same place
(verb).

mismo!
Lleve la receta. Por favor, llévela.
MANDATOS NEGATIVOS
• To form negative Ud. and Uds.
commands, just add no before the
command.

Beban el agua. No beban muchos refrescos.
MANDATOS NEGATIVOS
• When using reflexive, direct, and indirect
object pronouns with negative Ud. or
Uds. commands, add the pronoun
between no and the verb.
