Los Mandatos Afirmativos (positive tú commands)
Informal Commands
Informal commands (Tú commands) are used to tell a friend or family member to do something.
It is not used to tell an adult (teacher) to do something.
Informal CommandsNot to worry, the form is fairly simple to create.
The tú command is the same as the él/ella form of the present tense.
Informal Commands
Make no mistake about it, the tú command form and the él/ella form are the same letter combination, but they are not used for the same people.
Informal Commands
Infinitive Present (él/ella) Affirmative Tú
Caminar Camina ¡Camina!
Informal Commands
Comer Come ¡Come!
Infinitive Present (él/ella) Affirmative Tú
Informal Commands
Abrir Abre ¡Abre!
Infinitive Present (él/ella) Affirmative Tú
Mom always ask us twice.
Clean your room!
Clean it!
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Your room is the direct object because it is what you clean.
You replace “your room” with “it.”
When we first learned about D.O.P. we said that we place them before the conjugated verbs.
This is where the present tense and the command form differ.
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Here we will attach them to the end of the command, BUT...
Ask me once, ask me twice...
If you remember, the stress of word...
When a word ends in a vowel, N or S, the stress of a word is placed over the second- to-last syllable.
Ask me once, ask me twice...
And when a word ends in any other letter, the stress of a sound is over the last syllable.
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Sacapuntas
Sa/ca/pun/tas
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Merendar
Mer/en/dar
Ask me once, ask me twice...
Ask me once, ask me
When we add a syllable (such as a D.O.P) to the end of a word we need to add an accent over the original second to last syllable.
Cross the street (Cruzar / la calle)
¡Cruza la calle! (“la” is the D.O.P.)
¡Crúzala!
Ask me once, ask me twice...
You try...
Tomar el lápiz.
¡Toma el lápiz!
¡Tómalo!
You try...

¡Limpia tu cuarto!
¡Límpialo!
