Feeling Bossy? Command Games (Infinitive Commands)

Feeling Bossy? Command Games (Infinitive Commands)

10
votes

I thought it would be fun to play several games with the goal of focusing on the different categories of the imperative mood.

This thread will focus on the infinitive commands. This is the command of signs, recipes and instructions. wink

Each person will create a sentence using an infinitive command (either affirmative or negative). The next person will use the first letter of the last word as the beginning letter of the next infinitive verb.

Por ejemplo:

Combinar la mantequilla y el azúcar.

Next sentence: (The infinitive verb must begin with "a")

¡Andar con cuidado!

Please remember to click on the "Newest" tab before answering.

Include the English translation. smile

Delores, I think 'tirar la basura' carries the thought of 'throwing away' :) On the otherhand 'echarse' can mean to 'jump' or to 'lie down' - Kiwi-Girl, JUN 9, 2010
