Question

help! i neeed to write breif instructions for making a simple recipe, using informal affirmativie and negative commands for spanish2a.

Answer 1

Here, I will copy and paste what I wrote up to help another person with affirmative and negative commands:


Positive "tú" commands. Here's how you'd conjugate them:
-ar verbs: Drop -ar ending and add "a."
(Ex.: Habla español. = Speak Spanish.)
-er verbs: Drop -er ending and add "e."
(Ex.: Come la comida. = Eat the food.)
-ir verbs: Drop -ir ending and add "e.:
(Ex.: Escribe los apuntes. = Write the notes.)

*Also know the irregulars: http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/irregtucomm.htm

Negative "tú" commands. Here's how you'd conjugate them:
-ar verbs: Drop -ar, use opposite ending in tú form.
(Ex.: No hables español. = Don't speak Spanish.)
-er verbs: Drop -er, use opposite ending in tú form.
(Ex.: No comas la comida. = Don't eat the food.)
-ir verbs: Drop -ir, use opposite ending in tú form.
(Ex.: No escribas los apuntes. Don't write the notes.)

Answer 2

I hope that will help you write commands. Just apply this to the verbs you need for the assignment, put it all into a sentence, and you are set! :) If you need me to check your work, just leave reply!
