Need help as soon as possible familiar commands

Question

Fill in the blanks with the familiar command form of the verbs. I used the imperative tense to conjugate? Did I do this right??

Por favor, ve (ir) a casa de Juan y pídele mi libro.
No preocupa (preocuparse). Aquí tengo el navegador GPS.
Javier,apague (apagar) el televisor, que es muy tarde.
No vuelve (volver) a decir eso.
Cristina,queda (quedarse) en casa esta tarde.
Juan Carlos, haz (hacer) la tarea ahora mismo.

Answer 1

Here are some helpful tips when forming commands in the tú form... - In "positive" sentences, or sentences that are not negative, you use the 3rd person singular of the 3rd person indicative. Depending on the word, you may have to add an accent mark to indicate emphasis on the correct syllable. - In negative sentences, the reflexive, indirect and direct pronouns go after the "no" and before the verb. The verb uses subjunctive 2nd person singular form.

Examples:

Give it to me. Don´t give it to me. = Dámelo. No me lo des.

Fix it. Don´t fix it. =Arréglalo. No lo arregles.

Write. Don't write.=Escribe. No escribas.

---

Some short commands that are irregular for the tú form (for "positive" commands):

• Ten (tener)
• Ven (venir)
• Di (decir)
• Se (ser)
• Ve (ir)
• Sal (salir)
• Pon (poner)
• Haz (hacer)

If you are ever a babysitter, you´ll have to know those negative commands well...they will definitely come in handy!

• Don't hit your sister!=¡No pegues a tu hermana!
• Don't do that! =¡No lo hagas!
• Stop!= ¡Para!
• Don't jump on the couch! = ¡No saltes en el sofá!
• Sit down! =¡Siéntate!
• Eat your dinner!= ¡Come la cena!

You forgot the ever-popular, "callete!" - JoyceM, Apr 11, 2012

It would be "Cállate," and yes, those kids can get noisy! - missy8888, Apr 11, 2012

Answer 2

In the second one, "no te preocupes".

In the fourth line, "no vuelvas"

In the fifth line, "quédate"

Answer 3

If you go to the conjugation function at the top of the page, at the end of verb forms, they have listed the imperative, or command forms.

Hey Amy, for future reference I hope this free lesson about how to form and use all the imperative/command forms might be helpful and there will a free podcast of the same info coming soon too if you like to learn by listening.

Answer 5

No te preocupas (preocuparse). Aquí tengo el navegador GPS. (You have to use the negative command form here.)

Javier,apague (apagar) el televisor, que es muy tarde. (Apague is for él/ella/usted, apaga would be for tú, I say this because you used tú for the rest of them.)

Cristina, quédate (quedarse) en casa esta tarde. (I added the te because you have the reflexive form.)

Edit: I missed the negative command for the no vuelvas sentence, the person below me got it right :D

Thank you very much!! - amy_phillips3, Apr 11, 2012
