Question

I need some spanish help.
I need to write a formal command. I need to say this in spanish:
Eat the soup. Get lots of rest. Do not drink cold liquid.

Answer 1

Okay, I'm here! Sorry for the wait - I was answering a History question. (e . e)

Answer 2

Okay, so...you need to do a formal command. Do you a little idea of what that could be, or who you would give a formal command to?

Answer 3

a teacher, for ex.

Answer 4

Yes, correct! And to a teacher it would be to used "usted". c:

Let me show you the RULES. c:

Based on StudySpanish, The formal commands are formed the same way as the present subjunctive:

Start with the yo form of the present indicative.
Then drop the -o ending.
Finally, add the following endings:

-ar verbs:
-e (for Ud.), -en (for Uds.)

-er and -ir verbs:
-a (for Ud.), -an (for Uds.)

So, for example, the first command, "Eat the soup" would be "Coma usted la sopa." since "comer" is an -er verb and you have to drop the ending and add "-a".

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 9

I found this very helpful in my lessons. Use this to try and figure out the last one.

Answer 10

so.. it would be: Descansa mucho.

Answer 11

what about the last sentence? the verb bebida ends in "da" not ar, er, or ir.

Answer 12

maybe you could help me think of an easier sentence? tell someone not to do something since they are sick.

Answer 13

how about: No coma una hamburguesa.

Answer 14

Well bebida is the noun drink. The verb for to drink is beber. So you could till do that sentence.

Answer 15

No coma una hamburguesa is fine to use.

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

so its No beber líquidos fríos?

Answer 18

It would actually be 'No beba líquidos fríos' because you have to drop the -er in beber and change it to an -a. But otherwise, yes it is correct.

Answer 19

ok thanks
