What is the command form in Spanish?

The command form, or the imperative mood, is used to give orders, make requests, or offer advice in Spanish.

How to form the imperative form in Spanish?

For tú (informal) commands, use the third person singular of the present tense (e.g., habla – "speak"). For formal commands, use the subjunctive form (e.g., hable – "speak" for usted ).

How do you form negative commands?

Negative commands are formed by using no before the verb and the present subjunctive form (e.g., no hables – "don’t speak" for tú and no hable – "don’t speak" for usted ).

Do commands change based on formality?

Yes, informal commands are used with friends or people you know well ( tú ), while formal commands are used in more polite situations or with people you don’t know well ( usted ).

Can Spanish commands be used with pronouns?

Yes, in affirmative commands, pronouns are attached to the end of the verb (e.g., dámelo – "give it to me"). In negative commands, pronouns come before the verb (e.g., no me lo des – "don’t give it to me").
