Los Usos
Commands take specific endings depending upon the
person they are directed.
Commands may be given in tú, usted, nosotros,
vosotros, and ustedes forms.
The most common of these forms is the tú form,
whose spelling depends on if the command is positive
or negative (vosotros does the same as well).
Mandatos de Tú
To form a positive tú command, go to the él/ella/usted
form of the verb.
This includes if the verb is a stem changer.
To form a negative tú command, go to the yo form of
the verb, drop the –o, and add –as (if the verb is er/ir)
or –es (if the verb is ar).
This includes stem changes, pirate verbs, and other
forms.
Los Reflexivos
• In reflexive verbs, the negative tú command remains the norm,
•

but positive commands require a special form.
The verb is originally formed as normal positive commands, but
the (te) part of the verb must be added to the end.
Because another syllable is being added onto the word, certain
aspects of the verb must be stressed (accented) in order to
maintain flow.
After adding on the IOP (indirect object pronoun), stress the
third to last syllable. If the verb does not have that many
syllables, it does not need to be stressed.
Example: moverse muévete
A strong syllable (a,e,o) always is stressed before a weak (i,u).
Los Irregulares - Positivo
Of course, there are irregular verbs specifically for the
positive tú form. These include:
decir di
venir ven
hacer haz
tener ten
ser se
poner pon
ir ve
salir sal
An easy way to remember this is with the expression:
Di Haz SeVen Ten Ponies in her Salon
Los Irregulares - Negativo
And there exists a separate set of irregulars for the very
same list for negatives:
decir no digas
hacer no hagas
ser no seas
ir no vayas
venir no vengas
tener no tengas
poner no pongas
salir no salgas

Mandatos de Usted
Sometimes, commands are used formally.
To form an usted command, go to the yo form of the
verb and drop the –o, adding an a (if er/ir) or an e (if
ar).
This ending is essentially the negative tú command
form without the s.
The positive and negative forms of each command are
identical.
Rules regarding reflexives and irregulars are the same,
except a –se is used instead of a –te.
The negative form of the irregular verbs will be used as
an usted command, disregarding the s.
Example: poner (+/-) (no) ponga
reírse (+/-) ríase, no se ría
Pirate verbs are essentially the same as negative tú
commands, disregarding the s.

Mandatos de Ustedes
Commands may also be given to a group of individuals.
To form an ustedes command, simply add an –n onto
the would be usted form (-yo form, drop “o”, opposite
ending, add “n”).
The same rules regarding reflexive and irregulars for
usted apply to this group.

4. conseguir (-)

5. decir (+)

Mandatos de Nosotros
Commands may also be given in the nosotros form,
and follow a very similar pattern to usted and ustedes
commands.
The verb is taken to the yo form, the –o is dropped, an
the opposite ending is added (amos for er/ir; emos
for ar).
The same endings are used for irregular and pirate
verbs as well, except amos/emos is added instead.
Excepciones de Nosotros
In nosotros commands, the stem changer is NOT
taken by the verb.
However, a slipper verb (3rd person preterite) form
WILL be used in nosotros.
Encontrar encontremos (no stem change)
Dormir durmamos (slipper change)
Reflexivos de Nosotros
Reflexives differ as well.
Positive commands still require accents; instead, the
verb will be conjugated without stem change to an
usted command and –monos will be added onto the
end of the verb.
Example: mover movámonos
This explains the common expression vámonos, or
“let’s go.”

3. poder (-)

4. pedir (+)
1. pidamos
5. hacer(-)
1. no hagamos
Mandatos de Vosotros
Commands may be in the vosotros form as well
Vosotros commands essentially are the same as tú
commands, but differ slightly.
In positive commands, a –d is simply added onto the
end of a positive tú command.
Example: estAR estAD
venIR venID
comER comED
In negative commands, go to the –yo form of the verb,
drop the –o, and add the opposite endings (áis for
er/ir; éis for ar)
Example: llamar no llaméis
Example: creer no creáis
The rules for irregular, relexive, and pirate verbs apply
for vosotros the same as for tú.
