COMMANDS - PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE

 

In Spanish, commands are conjugated in Present Subjunctive because there is no certainty that the other person will do the action even when you ask the person to do it.

 

Learn commands in three parts and then, practice:

               A. Formal Commands

                    B. Commands when talking to more than one person

                    C. Informal Commands

                                                (affirmative, irregular, negative and using pronouns)

                    D. PRACTICE

 

 

 

 

A. FORMAL COMMANDS: Formal commands are used to talk to adults or people you don't know, customers, patients, etc...

 *The negative tú command should be "no des". Notice there should be no accent mark! Sorry about any confusion!

 In this video lesson we'll be continuing our series on tú commands. I'd like to tell you that making negative commands is as simple in Spanish as it is in English. But of course, we'll find that they are a little bit different.
