Walk do not run in the command form
Hello! I'm sure you have realized this: *walk* --> affirmative *do not run* --> negative Now, remember: - for affirmative commands you need the IMPERATIVE? - but for negative commands you need the SUBJUNCTIVE (present subjunctive here). Shall I help you conjugate the imperative and the subjunctive one at a time?
OK, then... :) First we need to say *walk* in Spanish -- i.e. an imperative in Spanish. *To walk* is *CAMINAR*. So we need to form the imperative for *CAMINAR*, right? (Well, only the *tu* ["you"] form, which we need for the "[you] run" command.) CAMINAR ends in -AR... So, do you know how to form the imperative with regular -AR verbs? It's only two steps: 1) Begin with the infinitive: CAMINAR 2) Take the -R out... --> and that's the imperative! ==== Example with SALTAR (meaning "to jump") 1) Infinitive: SALTAR 2) Imperative: SALTA I'm sure you now know how to say "(You) walk"... Hope this helps!
so would it start out like yo comino?
Mmmm... no, sorry. Simply: 1) Begin with the infinitive: CAMINAR 2) Take the -R out... --> and that's the imperative!
how would you say it?
Would you give it a try...? If you take -R out of CAMINAR you got it...!
camina but if you're saying i run, you change the A to an O
I mean walk sorry lol
yes so it would be comino? correct?
It's CAMINAR - R...
not comino that's a spice dani
If we may put it in the form of a subtraction: CAMINAR - -AR = ... And that's the imperative meaning "(you) walk" :)
If I may, @TTP , I'll help you with the rest of the sentence, OK? So, as for the negative command ("do not run" in Spanish): you'll need to use CORRER (= "to run"). You simply: 1) Begin with the infinitive: CORRER 2) Take -ER out. --> ___ 3) Now add -AS at the end. --> ___ 4) Finally add the word *no* before it. --> NO ___ So those last two words (if you fill in the blanks) give you the negative command meaning "do not run". :) Hope this helps!
