Mandatos
In Spanish, commands are called “mandatos.”
A command is used to tell some what to do or what not to do.
Questions and suggestions are not commands. You should not do that! Will you wash the car? You need to study more!
Examples of commands:
Wash the dishes!Do your homework!Eat your vegetables!Don’t do that!Take a bath!
Types of Commands
Commands include do’s and don’ts.
Do’s are called affirmative commands
Mandatos afirmativos
Don’ts are called negative commands
Mandatos negativos
Commands also differ depending on who you are talking to:
Informal (tú) Commands
Formal (Ud.) Commands
Plural (Uds.) Commands
Regular Affirmative Tú Commands
It’s easy to form affirmative tú commands, those that tell someone to do something.
To form an affirmative, informal command, simply take the Él/Ella/Ud. form of the verb in the present tense.
For example:
Eat the pizza! ¡Come la pizza!
Wash the dishes! ¡Lava los platos!
You try it!
Translate the following sentences into Spanish using Affirmative Tú Commands:
1. Dance!2. Win!3. Study for the test.4. Run!
1. ¡Baila!2. ¡Gana!3. Estudia para el
examen.4. ¡Corre!
