  1. Affirmative Tú Commands Realidades 2: 3B

  2. Tú commands are actually very easy to form. But the big thing to remember is that affirmative commands are very different from negative commands. Affirmative Commands A tú affirmative command is just the 3rd person singular indicative form of the verb: hablo hablamos como comemos vivo vivimos hablas habláis comes coméis vives vivís habla hablan come comen vive viven habla come vive

  3. So to form an affirmative command, just go to the 3rd person singular . . . . . . except for the irregulars: salir sal poner pon decir di hacer haz ser sé ir ve venir ven tener ten To form many of these commands, take the YO form of the present tense and drop the –GO. salir salgo (-GO) sal venir vengo (-GO) ven poner pongo (-GO) pon tener tengo (-GO) ten

  4. y una cosa más… • Did you remember that the yo present tense conjugation of saber is sé? • Now you also know that the affirmative tú command for ser is also sé. • So, how do we tell which one is which? • The context of the sentence will do that. • Yo séel alfabeto en español (saber = I know). • I know the alphabet in Spanish. • Sé bueno con tus abuelos. (ser = you be). • You be good with your grandparents • (a command a parent might give to a child).

  5.
