In the Usted, Ustedes, and Nosotros form

2. -When to Use Usted and Ustedes Commands
Give orders or advice to others in a formal condition.
Ex: Hable con ellos = Talk with them

3. -Usted and Ustedes Command Formation
-Steps:
Go to the present “yo” form of the verb, and drop final “o”
For AR verbs, add “e” to the end of the verbs (“en” for ustedes)
For IR / ER verbs, add “a” at the end of the verb (“an” for ustedes)
-Examples of formation:
cantar  yo canto (“yo” form of the verb)  cant (drop “o”)
 cante(n) (add “e” to end (“en” for ustedes))
vivir  yo vivo  viv  viva(n)

4. -Rules when forming Usted and ustedes commands
Verbs with an irregular “yo” form maintain the irregularity
Ex: decir  digo (irregular “yo” form)  diga(n) = final form
Other irregulars (hacer, tener, traer, conducer, conocer, decir…)
Car -Gar -Zar have the changes in the command form
Ex: sacar  saque(n) jugar  juegue(n) almorzar  almuerce(n)

5. -Irregular Formations
Infinitive: Usted Ustedes: Dar dé den Estar esté estén Ir vaya vayan Saber sepa sepan Ser sea sean

6. -Making Commands negative
Insert “no” before the verb
Ex: (no ponga, no ensucien…)

7. -Pronoun Placement
Reflexive, indirect, and direct object pronouns are attached to the end of the conjugated verb.
Ex: (siéntense, acuéstense…)
When a pronoun is placed at the end of the conjugated verb that has two or more syllables, and accent mark is used in order to keep original stress.
Reflexive, indirect, and direct pronouns precede the verb if the command is negative.

8. -Nosotros Commands
Used to give orders or advice that include yourself and others.
Ex: (Vamos a la playa = Lets go to the beach)
Corresponds to the English Let’s

9. -Nosotros Command Formation
Formed by using the first-person plural conjugation of the present Subjunctive
Steps:
Start with present “yo” form of verb
Drop “o”
Use following endings: AR verbs = “emos,” ER/IR verbs = “amos”

10. -Rules of Formation
Verbs with irregular “yo” forms maintain the irregularity (ex: decir, conducer)
Car -Gar -Zar have the changes in the command form
Ex: sacar  saquemos jugar  juguemos almorzar  almorcemos
AR and ER stem changers have no change in the nosotros command form.
IR stem changers have a change!
The unstressed “e” changes to “i” and the unstressed “o” changes to “u”
Ex: (dormir(o:ue)  →   durmamos, sentir(e:ie) → sintamos…)

11. -Irregular and Negative Formations
No vayamos is only irregular negative formation of ir.
To make a nosotros command negative, add “no” before the conjugated verb. Ex: (no hablemos)

12. -Pronoun placement
Object pronouns are attached to the command, and an accent is added to maintain original stress.
Ex: Escibamos a Ana y Raul.  Escribámosles
Object pronouns are placed before negative nosotros commands.
Ex: No les paguemos no se lo digamos a ellos.
