link text The congugation of Dar shows the tú command is Da so:
Dame un papel would be a informal command.
For an usted or formal command Dé is the word for give.
Déme un papel.

presentar --> to present/ show/ give/ propose
I present --> (yo) presento
you present --> (tu/ usted) presentas
she/he presents --> (ella/ el) presenta
we present --> (nosotros/ nosotras) presentamos
they present --> (ellos/ ellas/ ustedes) presentan
you/ yourselves present --> (vosotros) presentais ... i don't know about that last one but the others are correct

Nice deduction from context for verb choice, but none of those are command forms. - 0074b507, Apr 6, 2011
