What is the one rule for all command forms except affirmative tú/vosotros?
Use the present subjunctive form of the verb (Ud., Uds., negative tú, negative vosotros, nosotros).
How do you form the affirmative vosotros command?
Take the infinitive and change the final -r to -d: hacer → haced.
What are the six wholly irregular subjunctives (DISHES)?
dar → dé/den, ir → vaya(n), ser → sea(n), haber → haya(n), estar → esté(n), saber → sepa(n).
Ven acá. → negative tú command?
No vengas acá.
Where do object pronouns go with commands?
Attached to the end of affirmative commands (often adding a written accent); before the verb in negative commands.
How does a stem-changing -ar/-er verb like volver behave in nosotros commands?
No diphthong: volvamos (but vuelva, vuelvan, no vuelvas).
How does dormir behave in the nosotros command?
-ir verbs keep a stem change: durmamos (duerma, duerman).
What happens to a reflexive nosotros command like levantemos + nos?
Drop the final -s: Levantémonos (also sentémonos, vámonos, Digámoselo).
How do you say 'Let's go' vs 'Let's not go'?
Vamos (indicative, irregular) / No vayamos (regular subjunctive).
Give the Uds. affirmative of salir and the negative Uds. of ser.
Salgan. / No sean.
