- Slide 2
- Los mandatos formales Command forms of verbs are used to tell
someone what to do (positive command) or what not to do (negative
command). For example: Open your book. Take out your homework. Dont
talk! In Spanish, there are formal commands (Ud., Uds.) and
informal (t) commands.
- Slide 3
- Los mandatos 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: Note that the formal command forms
use the vowel opposite that which is usually associated with the
conjugation. -ar verbs-er/-ir verbs Usted (Ud.)-e-a Ustedes
(Uds.)-en-an
- Slide 4
- Why start with the yo form? Verbs with irregularities in the yo
form (stem- changes, -go verbs, irregular yo forms) have that same
irregularity in the formal command forms. For example: Put the
backpack on the floor. pongo pong- Ponga (Ud.) o Pongan (Uds.) la
mochila en el piso.

- Spelling Changes -ar verbs that end in car, - gar, or zar will
have a spelling change. For example: Buscar el libro. Llegar a
tiempo. Empezar la tarea.

- How do I make a command negative? To make a formal command
negative, place no before the verb. Dont talk! No hable! No
hablen!
- Slide 7
- Where do I put subject pronouns? If you choose to use the
subject pronoun Ud. or Uds. with the command form, place the
pronoun after the command. No hable Ud.! Hablen Uds.!
