Remember:
Usted Commands (we did before break) are formed by taking the verb in the Yo form and switching endings
Tener – tenga or no tenga . You don’t have a difference between pos/neg like the Tu commands.
Tu commands (what we are working on now)
Positive – El/Ella form of the verb – no ending switch (lavar = lava = wash!_)
Negative – Yo form of the verb – switch endings. (lavar = no lavas)
It’s important to remember the Yo form for negative so you do the irregular YO’s correctly
Also – only difference between Usted commands and Tu commands are the person you are talking to. Usted – formal/Tu - informal
