caminamos

Hello there: I believe the answer should be something else... I'll explain why: it's important to know wether this is a /command/ or simply a /statement/... - If it's a statement (affirmative, like: "John is sitting down"), three options are possible. - If it's a command (imperative, like "John, please sit down"), only one option is right. See what I mean? Would you agree, @One098 ?

OpenStudy (one098):

Yes, sorry. I wasn't really sure about this one.

No problem! Now, remember we need the subjunctive when the imperative is used in a negative sentence (like this one: *No ___ por el parque* )? Here is an example conjugation with the verb *cantar* (= "to sing"), which follows the same pattern as *caminar* (the one used in our question): CANTAR yo - - cant + E [In a negative imperative: "No cante"] tu - - cant + ES [In a negative imperative: "No cantes"] el/ ella/ USTED - - cant + E [In a negative imperative: "No cante"] nosotros/ nosotras - - cant + EMOS [In a negative imperative: "No cantemos"] vosotros/ vosotras - - cant + EIS [In a negative imperative: "No canteis"] ellos/ ellas/ USTEDES - - cant + EN [In a negative imperative: "No canten"] So, with "caminar", what option would we be left with...? Hope this helps! Blessings

Good job regardless, @One098 ! Blessings
