USTED/USTEDES COMMANDS. These are sooooooooo easy. Well, they’re easy if you did a good job of learning how to form the subjunctive and not so much if you didn’t. USTED commands are just like the subjunctive: hable salga conozca coma vuelva almuerce diga lea vea.

Let’s review how to form the subjunctive: • Drop the –o off the yo form • Add –e to –ar verbs; add –a to –er/-ir verbs • Remember that verbs ending in –car, -gar, and –zar are going to spell change: tocar – toque pagar – pague comenzar – comience • There are five irregulars: ser sea ir vaya saber sepa estar esté dar dé And that’s it. There are some considerations with stem-changing verbs, but they don’t affect Ud./Uds.
One more thing: pronouns. You have to put object pronouns on the END of affirmative commands: cómalos ábrala ayúdeme pídalos You have to add an accent mark over what was originally the next-to-last syllable whenever you put a pronoun on the end of a command. But you put the pronoun BEFORE a negative command: no los coma no la abra no me ayude no los pida
Oh—and about Uds. Commands: all you have to do is put an –n on the end of the Ud. Command. cómanlos ábranla ayúdenme pídanlos no los coman no la abran no me ayuden no los pidan
