MANDATOS
Commands in the Ud./Uds. Form
Both affirmative and negative
LOS REGULARES
Similar to the Informal (tú) commands,
we’ll start with the present tense.
Formal (Ud.) commands:
Use the present tense “Yo” form and
change the ending.
Present “Yo” form
Present tense Yo form and change the “o” to
the “opposite vowel of the infinitive”
-ar e
-er a
-ir a
Infinitive
Cortar
Comer
Vivir
Present Ud Command
Corto
Corte!
Como Coma!
Vivo
Viva!
*What does this remind you of?
*Ud. Commands are conjugated just like
negative tú, but drop the ‘s’!!
As with the Tú commands, whatever
changes are in the present tense
(boots) must stay in the
Command/Mandato.
pensar piensa piense!
dormir duerme duerma!
Pretend irregulares
This is where the “yo” form will come in useful.
**Changes in the Yo form (yo-go, c-zc,
g-j) MUST stay.
(notice the opposite vowel still in effect)

Making Ud. Uds.
Simply take the Usted form of the
command and add an “n” to make it
plural, just as you would a normal
present tense verb.

Making Affirmative Negative
Unlike like the Tú commands,
Ud/Uds commands can become
negative by simply adding a “no”
before the command.
