2. Repaso…
Remember we just learned about informal commands (mandatos). Let’s review how they are conjugated. For a positive command: Conjugate the verb in the tú present tense and then drop the S. Example: If you want to tell a friend to walk: 1. The verb is CAMINAR 2. Conjugate in the tú present tense  CAMINAS 3. Drop the S  CAMINA 4. The tú command for Walk! is  ¡Camina!

3. Practica:
Conjugate the following into the positive tú command: Eat!  Sleep  Sing  Run 

4. Repaso… negative commands
To command someone NOT to do something (negative tú commands) Conjugate the verb in the yo present tense. If verb is an -AR, make the ending -ES. If the verb is –ER/-IR, make ending -AS. If you want to tell a friend not to smoke: 1. The verb is FUMAR 2. Conjugate in the yo present tense  FUMO 3. Switch the O to ES  FUMES 4. Add the NO to make it negative ¡no fumes! If you want to tell a friend not to run: 1. the verb is CORRER 2. Conjugate in the yo present tense  CORRO 3. Switch the O to AS  CORRAS 4. Add the no to make it negative  ¡no corras!

5. Practica…
Conjugate the following into the negative tú command: Don’t Eat!  Don’t Sleep  Don’t Sing  Don’t Run 
