IMPERATIVE MOOD
	28. TU COMMANDS

This chart will be very valuable to you as you learn the commands in Spanish! I would print several copies of this spread sheet and have them with you as you come to class.

Negative tú commands

To tell someone what not to do, use a negative command. To form negative tú commands, drop the -o of the present-tense yo form and add:

•	-es for -ar verbs.

	usar uso: No uses el microondas.

•	-as for -er and -ir verbs.

	encender	enciendo:	No enciendas el horno.
	añadir	añado:	No añadas demasiada sal.
	poner	pongo:	No pongas los camarones en la sartén todavía.

Verbs ending in -car, -gar, or -zar have spelling changes: c changes to qu, g changes to gu, and z changes to c.

	picar	pico:	No piques los tomates.
	pagar	pago:	No pagues demasiado.
	empezar	empiezo:	No empieces a cocinar ahora.


These verbs have irregular negative tú commands:

	dar	no des	ir	no vayas
	estar	no estés	ser	no seas

Remember that pronouns are attached to affirmative commands. If the pronoun is added to a command form that has two or more syllables, write an accent mark on the syllable stressed in the present tense.

	— ¿Pico las cebollas?

	—Sí, pícalas.

With negative commands, pronouns always go right before the conjugated verb.
