“Nosotros/as” Commands
By Jami Sipe Using “Let’s” ©2010 Teacher’s Discovery

Generally, these forms translate to “Let’s” statements in English.
Examples: Let’s talk. Let’s study. ©2010 Teacher’s Discovery

To form these commands in regular Spanish verbs:
1 Take the present tense “yo” form of the verb. 2 Drop the “o.” For –ar verbs, add “–emos” and for –er and –ir verbs, add “–amos.” 3 (Use the same endings as you do with the “nosotros/as” form of the subjunctive.) ©2010 Teacher’s Discovery
