Levantarse,vosotros.

Question

Pon los verbos en el iempo y el modo correspondientes.

(Levantarse, vosotros)______ rápido. Ya son las siete y media.

Can anyone tell me the correct answer of it and also the reason? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes it might have been ¡Levántense! (but with an accent.) if you were speaking formally.

But

It is ¡Levantaos! because you are not speaking formally.

(By the way we don't tend to do homework, we encourage people to give it a try first, but since there is an answer which is incorrect I'd better give you the correct one.)

You were right, it has no tilde - cogumela, Jan 17, 2011

Answer 2

Hi Melissa,

The vosotros command form is levantad; so, it would be levantados, but, whenever you add os to the end of the command form, you must first remove the final d. So, it is levantaos.

The stress is actually on the final a (levanTAos) because the stress of levantad is levanTAD. Thus, no tilde is needed as TA is the second-to-last (penultimate) syllable.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it a lot.:) - zhmelissa, Jan 17, 2011

Answer 3

Why´s levantaos?

Melissa;

formal, imperative "you" : ¡Levántense! (ustedes)

informal, imperative "you" : ¡Levantaos! (vosotros)

formal, indicative "you" : Se levantan (ustedes)

informal, imperative "you" : Os levantáis (vosotros)

It´s levantados = delete D, then turn into levantaos, I get it! - zhmelissa, Jan 17, 2011

Hah, Melissa. I see that you "got it" about 4 minutes before I posted my answer. :-) - webdunce, Jan 17, 2011

Answer 4

So. does it mean , if it´s present tense, not modo imperativo, it´s levántaos, but if we talk formally , with modo imperativo, we don´t need to change SE into os? Levántense, but not levántenos?

It is levantaos, imperative vosotros. No tilde. - cogumela, Jan 17, 2011

Why´s levantaos? - zhmelissa, Jan 17, 2011

Answer 5

levántate [tú]

levántense [usetedes] (polite in Spain; neutral everywhere else)

levántaos [vosotros] (Spain only, informal)

Since there was a vosotros there... - culé, Jan 17, 2011

And that tilde, Lazarus? - cogumela, Jan 17, 2011

Answer 6
