Commands of verbs
What is the informal tu comand of barrer? Would it be Barren? I don't really understand. I have more like this, I need to just understand the lesson so I could do it myself.

The affirmative command for tú is almost always the same as the third person singular of the present indicative.
¡Habla! ¡Vive! ¡Come!
Negative commands are formed by changing present indicative third person conjugated verb endings from a as in habla to es. ¡No hables!
By changing e in ir verbs such as vive to as. ¡No vivas! By changing the e in er verbs such as come to as. ¡No comas!
The eight irregular positive verbs are; (+) Positive (-) Negative
¡Ven! (venir) ¡No vengas! ¡ Ten! (tener) ¡No tengas! ¡Pon! (poner) ¡ No pongas! ¡Sal! (salir) ¡No salgas! ¡Haz! (hacer) ¡No hagas! ¡Sé! (Ser) ¡No seas! ¡Di! (decir) ¡No digas! ¡Ve! (ir) ¡No vayas!

I find these verb sheets very helpful barrer - just scroll to the bottom and you'll see the affirmative and negative command forms. Type a new verb infinitive into the box at the top right for any other verbs you want to check.
If you'd like to learn how to form the commands yourself though this lesson may help Spanish Command Forms
