Affirmative Informal "Tú" Commands

Be gentle with this pattern. Spanish grows fastest when one small idea gets practiced with care.

Big Idea

Verbs are the engine of a sentence. Start with the moment in time, then choose the form that carries that moment.

Examples

Example 1

Habla despacio.
Speak slowly.

Notice Habla: Friendly affirmative tú command.

Example 2

No hables tan rápido.
Do not speak so fast.

Let us write together.

Notice Escribamos: Nosotros command.

How To Practice

1. Step 1: Choose the relationship: tú, usted, ustedes, or nosotros.
2. Step 2: Decide whether the command is affirmative or negative.
3. Step 3: Keep the tone kind; grammar can be direct without sounding harsh.

Common Trap

Watch for this: The trap is trying to master the whole topic at once. Learn the center first; the exceptions make more sense after that.

Remember

With Affirmative Informal "Tú" Commands, begin with meaning and time. The ending is there to serve the sentence.
