- – Use commands to give advice or to tell people what you would like them to do.
- – Singular informal Affirmative commands normally use the present tense, third person form of the verb:
CANTA → (él/ella/usted) CANTA → (tú) CANTA (mandato)
COMER → (él/ella/usted) COME→ (tú) COME (mandato)
ABRIR → (él/ella/usted) ABRE→ (tú) ABRE (mandato)
- – Verbs have irregular affirmative informal (tú) commands:
| VERBOS | MANDATO | VERBOS | MANDATO | |||
| DECIR | DI | SER | SÉ | |||
| HACER | HAZ | TENER | TEN | |||
| IR | VE | VENIR | VEN | |||
| PONER | PON | DAR | DA | |||
| SALIR | SAL |
- – Verbs that require stem-change in present tense usually have the same change in the informal singular command:
PENSAR → (él/ella/usted) PIENSA→ (tú) PIENSA (mandato)
SEGUIR → (él/ella/usted) SIGUE→ (tú) SIGUE (mandato)
Stem Changing: -E / – IE Stem Change: O/-U → UE Stem Change: Cambia –E → –I
