In Spanish grammar, commands or imperatives (imperativo) are verb forms used to give orders, instructions, or make requests. They are divided into two main categories: affirmative and negative commands.

Affirmative Commands:

  • For tú (informal singular):

    • Remove the final -r from the infinitive: hablar → habla (speak/talk)
    • For stem-changing verbs, the stem change occurs: pedir → pide (ask for)
  • For ustedes (formal plural) and vosotros (informal plural, used in Spain):

    • Use the third-person plural form of the present indicative: hablen, pidan
  • For nosotros (first-person plural):

    • Use the first-person plural form of the present subjunctive: hablemos, pidamos

Negative Commands:

  • For tú (informal singular):

    • Use the subjunctive form: no hables, no pidas
  • For ustedes (formal plural) and vosotros (informal plural, used in Spain):

    • Use the third-person plural of the present subjunctive: no hablen, no pidan
  • For nosotros (first-person plural):

    • Use the first-person plural of the present subjunctive with no: no hablemos, no pidamos

It's important to note that the imperative mood is also used to express polite requests, suggestions, or instructions, not just direct orders.
