How do you form direct commands in Spanish?

Question

I dont need negative tu commands I just need to know how to form the others. Thanks

As is sit down or stand up. I know one of them is opposite ending like from Hablar to hable. Does anyone know how to form commands for every person in the tense? As in the Yo, tu, ud, Nosotros, Vosotros and Uds.

Answer 1

For most -ar ending verbs you have:

for tú: -a
for usted: -e
for nosotros: -emos
for ustedes: -en
for vosotros: -ad

e.g.
hablar = to talk
(tú) habla = (you, singular, informal) talk
(usted) hable = (you, singular, formal) talk
(nosotros) hablemos = let's talk
(ustedes) hablen = (you, plural, Latin America) talk
(vosotros) hablad = (you, plural, Spain ) talk

for most -er ending verbs
for tú: -e
for usted: -a
for nosotros: -amos
for ustedes. -an
for vosotros: -ed

eg

comer = to eat
(tú) come = (you, singular, informal) eat
(usted) coma = (you, singular, formal) eat
(nosotros) comamos = let's eat
(ustedes) coman = (you, plural, Latin America) eat
(vosotros) comed = (you, plural, Spain) eat

the -ir ending verbs are more complicated because most of them are irregular and change the imperative form from verb to verb.

Good luck ;)

Answer 2

Verbs ending with ar:
Tú habla
Usted hable
Ustedes hablen
Vosotros hablad
Nostroes hablemos

There are no command forms for él,ella,ellos, or ellas. Anything for them would be subjunctive.

Verbs ending with ir and er
Vivir: to live
Tu vive
Vosostros vivid
Usted viva
Ustedes vivan
Nosotros vivamos

Answer 3

Hablar would be:

Habla (for you) informal
Hable (for usted = you singular + formal)

Hablad (for vosotros = you plural + informal)

Hablen (for ustedes = you plural + formal)

Answer 4

Imagine what the sen~ora or the tourist would say to you in each situation, e.g., Por favor, DI'GAME cómo se llega al laboratorio de lenguas.
