Buen Viaje Nivel 2 Los mandatos/imperativos formales
Slide 2
Los imperativos Command forms of verbs are used to tell someone
what to do. In Spanish, there are formal commands (Ud., Uds.) and
informal (t) commands.
Slide 3
Los imperativos formales (regulares) To form the Ud. and Uds.
command forms: Take the present tense yo form Drop the o ending Add
one of the following endings: -ar verbs-er/-ir verbs Usted
(Ud.)-e-a Ustedes (Uds.)-en-an
Slide 4
Los imperativos formales (regulares) Verbs with irregularities
in the yo form (stem-changes, -go verbs, irregular yo forms) have
that same irregularity in the formal command forms. -Ar verbs
ending in gar, -car and zar will have the same spelling changes in
the command form that they have in the preterite tense yo form.
(Ej: llegar llegue/lleguen, buscar busque/busquen) Note that the
formal command forms use the vowel opposite that which is usually
associated with the conjugation. To make a formal command negative,
place no before the verb. If you choose to use the subject pronoun
Ud. or Uds. with the command form, place the pronoun after the
command.
