E N D
NOSOTROS COMMANDS • To suggest that others should do an activity with you, you could use the nosotros commands. • To form the nosotros command, substitute the –o of the present-tense yo form of a verb with –emos for most –ar verbs, or –amos for –er/-ir verbs. • Keep the original stem when conjugating the verb to a nosotros command
NOSOTROS COMMANDS CONTINUED • Object and reflexive pronouns that follow and are attached to affirmative nosotros/as commands. • Although, when combining a direct object pronoun with the indirect object pronoun se,and for reflexive verbs, drop the final consonant –s before attaching the pronouns.
SABER AND CONOCER • As you have probably already learned, ser and estar are used in several different situations as “to be.” Saber and conocer are used in the same way for “to know.” • Saber is used when you talk about facts that someone may know or not know. • When saber is followed by an infinitive, it indicates that someone knows how to do something. • Conocer is used when you want to discuss whether or not someone is familiar with people, places, or things. • When you use conocer to refer to people, be sure to add the personal a after the conjugated form of conocer.
NEGATIVE COMMANDS • To make an affirmative command negative, just add a “no” before the verb. • Ir has one exception for the nosotros/as form: ¡Vamos ¡No vayamos¡ • Maneje Ud. No maneje Ud. • Duerman Uds. No duerman Uds.
NEGATIVE COMMANDS CONTINUED • The negative tú command also has an exception. The negative tú command is formed by adding an –s to the end of Ud. and add “no” before the verb. • When adding an object/reflexive pronouns it must go before the verb instead of going after the verb.
