Spanish AFFIRMATIVE TÚ COMMANDS
If you would like to tell a friend or family member to do something in Spanish (tell me, wash your hands, pass the salt, etc), you must use affirmative tú commands.
AFFIRMATIVE TÚ COMMANDS You form an affirmative command by conjugating the verb it into the present tense él/ella/usted (3 rd person singular form) EXAMPLE Hablar – Habla! – Speak! Correr – Corre! – Run!
AFFIRMATIVE TÚ COMMANDS If the verb is irregular in the él/ella/Ud. form (stem-changer etc.), it will be irregular in the affirmative tú command as well. EXAMPLES Dormir (o-ue) – Duerme! – Sleep! Servir (e-i) – Sirve! – Serve!
