1 Informal Commands WALK! SLEEP! EAT!

2 In Spanish… When we want to tell a friend, siblings,or person you know on a first name basis to do something, we use informal (tú) commands… ¡Come! – EAT! ¡Camina!- WALK! ¡Duerme!- SLEEP! Only use informal commands when you are just giving a command to ONE person (informally).

3 Informal Commands Commands are used for both do’s and don’ts
Lets begin with the do’s. To state the do’s of most verbs, drop the –s off of the regular tú form. STATEMENT COMMAND (tú) caminas ¡Camina! Walk! (tú) comes ¡Come! Eat! (tú) duermes ¡Duerme! Sleep! Hablar Habl a s

4 Los Irregulares venir = ven decir = di salir = sal hacer = haz tener = ten ir = ve poner = pon ser = sé (mantener= mantén) * ir and ver have the same tú command, context will determine the meaning. Ver Ven di sal haz ten ve pon sé Vin Diesel has ten weapons, eh!

6 Placement of reflexive and object pronouns in tú commands.
Placement of pronouns follows the same rules as in formal commands (Ud. and Uds.). Pronouns are attached to commands. If the command has two or more two syllables, a written accent mark is added to maintain the original stress pattern. Ex: alegrarse ¡Alégrate! (Be happy! ) sentarse ¡siéntate (Sit down! ) pedir ¡Pídeselo! (Ask her for it!) * Remember when using direct and indirect object pronouns. Indirect object pronouns come first (people come first). Rules for Accent Marks 1 pronoun, 3rd syllable back 2 pronouns, 4th syllable back

7 Prácticamos… ¡Abre la ventana! Open the window!… Verb Abrir
Put it in the tú form = tú abres Drop the –s = abre ¡Abre la ventana!

8 Más prática… ¡Habla ahora! Speak now!... Verb hablar
Put hablar in the tú form= hablas Drop the –s = habla ¡Habla ahora!

9 Más práctica… ¡Bebe agua! Drink water!... Verb beber
Put beber in the tú form= bebes Drop the –s = bebe ¡Bebe agua!

10 Negative Commands To state the don’ts- negative (tú) commands
Start with the present tense “yo” Drop the “o” Add the opposite tú ending. (-as for er/ir verbs) (-es for ar verbs) STATEMENT COMMAND (tú) fumas ¡No fumes! Don’t smoke! (tú) corres ¡No corras! Don’t run! (tú) duermes ¡No duermas! Don’t sleep!

11 Irregulares: dies dar = des (no des) ir = vayas (no vayas) estar = estés (no estés) ser = seas (no seas) * Place reflexive and object pronouns before the conjugated verb in a negative command. Ex: No te sientas triste. Don’t feel sad No me lo digas Don’t tell me (it).
