1. Formal commands

2. Examples of formal commands:

leave!
give me!
relax!
put!
don’t go away
don’t give me
vaya
estudie
salga
déme
relájese
ponga

3. You may notice a few things about formal commands…
They are formed exactly like present tense (yo – drop o – add opposite ending)
Object pronouns and reflexive pronouns are attached when they’re affirmative and NOT when negative.

4. Note of use
Formal commands are much more common than informal, or “tú” commands because they are more polite. Informal commands can come across very bossy or rude
They are also easier to form because they’re the same affirmative and negative!

5. One more note…
Formal commands can be used to address a single person OR several people of which the “commander” is part or not. Examples:
Coman.
Comamos
Coma
(You all) eat!
Let’s eat!
(You) eat!
