a callar- imperativo

Question

a callar or calla ,,,, what is the difference between them ?

Answer 1

callar,,, becomes calle,,,subjuntivo en imperativo,

Be careful with this kind of explanation. There is no such thing as "subjunctive in imperative" that I know of.

"Cállate" is imperative of familiar you.

"No te calles" is negative imperative of familiar you (this conjugation just happens to be the same as the congugation for present subjunctive of familiar you, but the two tenses have nothing to do with one another).

---

"a callar" and "que te calles" are just expressive ways of saying "cállate."

Answer 2

callar,,, becomes calle,,,subjuntivo en imperativo, ,, be quiet,, shut up,, Callate,, first word i looked up when watching novelas,jajajjaja Callate!: Shut Up!

Answer 3
