  4. To form the command: 1.“yo” form in present tense: cantar = canto abrir = abro beber = bebo 2.

CAREFULto remember irregular yo forms and stem changing verbs! poner = pongo = ¡ponga(n)! hacer = hago = ¡haga(n)! salir = salgo = ¡salga(n)! venir = vengo = ¡venga(n)! decir = digo = ¡diga(n)! volver = vuelvo = ¡vuelva(n)! hervir = hiervo = ¡hierva(n)! pedir = pido = ¡pida(n)!
