OTHER COMMAND FORMS Avancemos 3 Unidad 2 Lecci n 1
COMMAND FORMS: In English, commands almost always stay the same. Stop! is Stop! regardless of who you are speaking to. In English when you include yourself in a group (we), you simply add let s in front of the verb to form the command: In Spanish, there are more variations of the command form. In this PowerPoint, we will look at the usted/ustedes/nosotros command forms: Example: Stop! (command in English) = in Spanish Para! (t command) Pare! (usted command) Paren! (ustedes command) BUT Paremos! = Let s stop! (nosotros command)
OTROS MANDATOS: So far we have learned how to construct affirmative and negative commands with t We also need to know the command forms used with usted / ustedes and nosotros . The good news is once you know how to conjugate a negative t command, usted, ustedes, and nosotros commands are easy!! You follow the same 3 step process as for negative t commands but use a different opposite ending
USTED AND USTEDES COMMANDS: The 3 step process: 1. Go to the YO form 2. Drop the o 3. Add the opposite ending (For AR verbs either e (usted) or en (ustedes) (For ER/IR verbs either a (usted) or an (ustedes) Example 1: Tirar Yo tiro (No) tire! (No) tiren! Example 2: Comer Yo como (No) coma! (No) coman!
NOSOTROS COMMANDS The 3 step process: 1. Go to the YO form 2. Drop the o 3. Add the opposite ending (For AR verbs use emos) (For ER/IR verbs use amos) Example 1: Tirar Yo tiro (No) tiremos! Example 2: Comer Yo como (No) comamos! *******To make any of these commands (usted, ustedes, nosotros) negative, you simply add a NO in front of the command. YOU DON T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE. The nosotros command translates as Let s .. In English
SIDES IRREGULAR T COMMANDS As with t commands, the same irregulars apply here. If there is an irregular yo form, the usted/ustedes/nosotros commands will also be irregular: We also see the same irregular SIDES verbs: S ser sea/sean/seamos I ir vaya/vayan/vamos BUT** no vayamos D dar d /den/demos E estar - est /est n/estemos S sepa/sepan/sepamos ** exception To say Let s go , use Vamos! BUT To say Let s not go , use vayamos
CAR/GAR/ZAR VERBS As with the negative t commands, verbs that end in CAR/GAR/ZAR will require a spelling change in the usted/ustedes/nosotros commands (c-qu, g-gu, z-c): Buscar: Yo busco - busque!/ busquen!/ busquemos! Organizar: Yo organizo - organice!/ organicen!/ organicemos! Jugar: Yo juego - juegue!/ jueguen!/ juguemos!
UNA PRCTICA Don t delegate (Uds.) No deleguen 1. 1. Give (Ud.) D ! 2. 2. Be nice (Uds.) Sean amables! 3. 3. Let s go Vamos! 4. 4. Don t play (Uds.) No jueguen! 5. 5. Start (Ud.) Empiece! 6. 6. Take out (Uds.) Saquen! 7. 7. Let s not change No cambiemos! 8. 8.
