Los Mandatos Por Mateo L.
Los Usos • Commands take specific endings depending upon the person they are directed. • Commands may be given in tú, usted, nosotros, vosotros, and ustedes forms. • The most common of these forms is the tú form, whose spelling depends on if the command is positive or negative (vosotros does the same as well).
Mandatos de Tú • To form a positive tú command, go to the él/ella/usted form of the verb. • This includes if the verb is a stem changer. • To form a negative tú command, go to the yo form of the verb, drop the –o, and add –as (if the verb is er/ir) or –es (if the verb is ar). • This includes stem changes, pirate verbs, and other forms.
Los Reflexivos • In reflexive verbs, the negative tú command remains the norm, but positive commands require a special form. • The verb is originally formed as normal positive commands, but the (te) part of the verb must be added to the end. • Because another syllable is being added onto the word, certain aspects of the verb must be stressed (accented) in order to maintain flow. • After adding on the IOP (indirect object pronoun), stress the third to last syllable. If the verb does not have that many syllables, it does not need to be stressed. • Example: moverse muévete • A strong syllable (a,e,o) always is stressed before a weak (i,u).
Los Irregulares - Positivo • Of course, there are irregular verbs specifically for the positive tú form. These include: • decir di venir ven • hacer haz tener ten • ser se poner pon • ir ve salir sal An easy way to remember this is with the expression: Di Haz SeVen TenPonies in her Salon
Los Irregulares - Negativo • And there exists a separate set of irregulars for the very same list for negatives: • decir no digas venir no vengas • hacer no hagas tener no tengas • ser no seas poner no pongas • ir no vayas salir no salgas
Ejemplos de Mandatos de Tú • correr (+) • corre • venir (-) • no vengas • divertirse (+) • diviértete • sentarse (-) • no te sientes • resolver (+) • resuelve • empezar (-) • no empieces • estar (+) • está • tocar (-) • no toques • pagar (-) • no pagues • mostrar (+) • muestra
jugar (-) • no juegues • cerrar (+) • cierra • tener (-) • no tengas • despertarse (+) • despiértate • encontrar (-) • no encuentres • dormir (+) • duerme • servir (-) • no sirvas • vestirse (+) • vístate • pedir (-) • no pidas • irse (+) • vete
Mandatos de Usted • Sometimes, commands are used formally. • To form an usted command, go to the yo form of the verb and drop the –o, adding an a (if er/ir) or an e (if ar). • This ending is essentially the negative tú command form without the s. • The positive and negative forms of each command are identical.
Rules regarding reflexives and irregulars are the same, except a –se is used instead of a –te. • The negative form of the irregular verbs will be used as an usted command, disregarding the s. • Example: poner (+/-) (no) ponga • reírse (+/-) ríase, no se ría • Pirate verbs are essentially the same as negative tú commands, disregarding the s.
Ejemplos de Mandatos de Usted • llegar (+) • llegue • hablar (-) • no hable • volver (+) • vuelva • sentirse (-) • no se sienta • dar (+) • dé • salir (-) • no salga • regar (+) • riegue • entender (-) • no entienda • sacar (+) • saque • rendirse (+) • ríndase
Mandatos de Ustedes • Commands may also be given to a group of individuals. • To form an ustedes command, simply add an –n onto the would be usted form (-yo form, drop “o”, opposite ending, add “n”). • The same rules regarding reflexive and irregulars for usted apply to this group.
Ejemplos de Mandatos de Ustedes • colgar (+) • cuelguen • recordar (-) • no recuerden • querer (+) • quieran • ser (-) • no sean • preferir (-) • no prefieran • peinarse (+) • péinense • repetir (-) • no repitan • beber (+) • beban • conseguir (-) • no consigan • decir (+) • digan
Mandatos de Nosotros • Commands may also be given in the nosotros form, and follow a very similar pattern to usted and ustedes commands. • The verb is taken to the yo form, the –o is dropped, an the opposite ending is added (amos for er/ir; emos for ar). • The same endings are used for irregular and pirate verbs as well, except amos/emos is added instead.
Excepciones de Nosotros • In nosotros commands, the stem changer is NOT taken by the verb. • However, a slipper verb (3rd person preterite) form WILL be used in nosotros. • Encontrar encontremos (no stem change) • Dormir durmamos (slipper change)
Reflexivos de Nosotros • Reflexives differ as well. • Positive commands still require accents; instead, the verb will be conjugated without stem change to an usted command and –monos will be added onto the end of the verb. • Example: mover movámonos • This explains the common expression vámonos,or “let’s go.”
Ejemplos de Mandatos de Nosotros • poner (+) • pongamos • comer (-) • no comamos • servir (+) • sirvamos • saber (-) • no sepamos • acostarse (+) • acostémonos • comenzar (-) • no comencemos • devolver (+) • devolvamos • poder (-) • no podamos • pedir (+) • pidamos • hacer(-) • no hagamos
Mandatos de Vosotros • Commands may be in the vosotros form as well • Vosotros commands essentially are the same as tú commands, but differ slightly. • In positive commands, a –d is simply added onto the end of a positive tú command. • Example: estAR estAD venIR venID comER comED
In negative commands, go to the –yo form of the verb, drop the –o, and add the opposite endings (áis for er/ir; éis for ar) • Example: llamar no llaméis • Example: creer no creáis • The rules for irregular, relexive, and pirate verbs apply for vosotros the same as for tú.
Ejemplos de Mandatos de Vosotros • estar (+) • estad • jugar (-) • no juguéis • acordarse (+) • acordaos • pensar (-) • no penséis • elegir (+) • elegid • seguir (-) • no sigáis • ir (+) • id • mentir (-) • no mintáis • requerer (+) • requered • aprobarse (-) • no os aprobéis
