Commands-formal, informal, affirmative, positive

Question

Wow, I'm learning lots of Spanish and now I'm getting confused as it gets harder.

So please help me figure this out. How does one give commands to "you guys" both formally and informally? So for example if I wanted to say to a group of people

1. "Eat your breakfast", how would I say that both formally and informally?
2. "Go home", how would I say that to a group both formally and informally?.

Could you also include the negatives? Please please.

Maybe the answer is clearer than I imagine and I've just studied too much for one day Thanks in advance

Answer 1

At the end and on the right hand side of each conjugation page (found under the "More" tab above) you will see the "Imperative" informal and formal conjugation of any given verb.

For example "ir" to go:

ve (informal)

vaya (formal)

vayamos (nosotros)

id (vosotros)

vayan (ustedes)

With the **negatives* you simply use the Subjunctive conjugation "No te vayas."

Of course! My brain is so boggled, I didn't even think about using that page-a page I often use. Thanks Mariana. - Ada-S, Nov 7, 2011

Id... that 'ir' just loves to be difficult. - katydew, Nov 7, 2011

Answer 2

Remember that in L.A. you use ustedes for both formal and informal "you all's". Actually, it is "you others". Vosotros came from vos otros (you others) as nosotros comes from "we others" (nos otros).
