Negative tú commandsCapítulo 7A-Realidades 2 p. 356

What are Negative tú commands?

They are used to tell someone what NOT to do and that ‘someone’ is usually a friend or someone we are familiar with.

How do we form a negative tú command?

There are 3 easy steps:

1. Start with the YO form present tense.

2. Drop the ‘O’.

3. Add –es for an –AR verb and add –as for an -ER/-IR verb and don’t forget the NO!!!

For example:1. Añadir=Añado

2. Añad-3. NO añadas

No añadas sal porque es malo para la salud.

Another normal verb:1. Hablar=Hablo

2. Habl-3. No hables

No hables inglés en la clase de español

Let’s try one more:1. Comer=Como

2. Com-3. No comas

¡No comas en esta clase!

What about verbs with an irregular YO form?

You will follow the same rules for the normal verbs.

For example:

1.Tener=Tengo2.Drop the ‘O’=Teng-3.Add the new ending=Tengas…and

don’t forget the ‘NO’NO TENGAS
