Divertir conjugation
I was recently doing imperative exercises and the instructions were to:
Put the following commandos into the negative
Divertíos
To me this looks like the positive divertir in the informal, plural "you" (vosotros) No os divertáis is the answer in the back of the book.
Could someone please confirm that this is incorrect and the answer should infact be No os divirtáis?
But when I google divertáis - things come up, even though it is in no verb tables.
Thanks in advance

I think you are right
The answer could be "No os divirtais", but this verbal form is in subjunctive. Also the verbal form "divertais" doesn't exist, at least for the RAE.
I would have to think deeper if this could be a rule, to change the command (imperative) mood by the sunbjunctive mood when constructing the oppositive for any expression.
I would wait for Cordobesa's answer because I can't be sure about it since I am not Spaniard.
That is Spanish of Spain. No os divertais. More complicated.
"No te diviertas" (you). "No se diviertan" (they) Spanish of the rest of the world. More easy.
