Answer 1

For the most part i see that you are conjugating these in the present tense of tu. Since you want these in tu commands go to the present form of usted/el/ella and that will be your answer:

mirás la televisión - this actually means (vos, used in Uruguay, argentina, guatemala...between friends..) you watch tv/do you watch tv. this isnt a command. You should say Mira la tele

compras los libros...Compra los libros

haces la tarea...This maybe a little tricky. The tu form is haz/or in the negative command no hagas. (the usted form would be haga/no haga...and the ustedes hagan/no hagan)

vienes a la fiesta...Another tricky one ... ven/no vengas

comes dulces...come/no comas

escribes las preguntas...escribe/no escribas

pon la mesa...GOOD JOB...do you know how to do it for the negative command?are you getting a hang of it? If not dont worry with practice you will get better

da el dinero a Juan... EXCELLENT, how about the negative command? go to the present form of the ustedes and conjugate it. since it is a ~ar verb, the negative command will be " no des"

aprender el vocabulario...you didnt conjugate it. what happened? but nice try. if you go to the present usted form of thisd verb and conjugate it, it will be aprende. so the tu command will be aprende/no aprendas

se paciente...almost!!! you forgot the accent on the "e"

ten cuidado..GREAT JOB...no tengas

mandar la carta...manda/no mandes

le el libro...it should be lee, but nice try. negative no leas

ver la película...ve/no veas

visit a tus padres...visita/no visites
