1. Use the subjunctive for all commands except tú
and vosotros affirmative.
a. The affirmative tú commands are identical in form
to the third person singular of the present indicative.
b. Remember the irregular verbs for the affirmative tú:
decir (di), hacer (haz), ir (ve), poner (pon), salir (sal), ser (sé),
tener (ten), and venir (ven).
c. The imperative of vosotros is formed by dropping the r of the
infinitive and substituting it with a d.
| cantar -> cantad |
comer -> comed |
vivir -> vivid |
d. Vamos is used to express let's go in Spanish. However, to express
let's not go, the subjunctive no vayamos is required.
e. When the pronoun nos is attached to the affirmative command
of the reflexive verbs, the final -s is deleted from the verb ending.

e.g. quitarse / la ropa (nosotros) -> command: V + RP + D (verb+reflexive
pronoun+direct object pronoun)

2. Identify all object pronouns.
3. Attach pronouns to the end of the verb in the following order verb+I+D,
unless it is a negative command.
Remember to put an accent mark on the verb where it originally
had the stress after being conjugated.
example: llevar / el equipaje / a ellos (tú)
| 1. (tú) lleva |
|
| 2. el equipaje = lo |
Llévaselo. |
| 3. a ellos = les > se |
|
example: pedir la película a nosotros (ud.)
| 1. (ud.) pida |
|
| 2. la película = la |
Pídanosla. |
| 3. a nosotros = nos |
|
example: pedir la película a nosotros (uds.)
| 1. (uds.) pidan |
|
| 2. la película = la |
Pídannosla.
|
| 3. a nosotros = nos |
