Does the irregular Tú commands also correspond to the go-go verbs with a few exceptions?

Depending on exactly how they are defined, these are the verbs that I can remember being classified as go verbs:

Hacer poner salir caer traer oír valer decir venir tener seguir asir

Here are the eight generally accepted irregular tú commands:

Decir Di

Hacer Haz

Ir Ve

Ser Sé

Poner Pon

Venir Ven

Tener Ten

Salir Sal

Six of those are on the first list, many from the first are not on the second.

I don’t think it really helpful in the long term to memorize lists of irregularities, although it can be helpful in the short term until you are used to them. Still, at some point they just need to come naturally and not something you have to think through a list to get.

It's "grammar". There is no word "grammer'". at least in English.

The subject of the verb is "commands" in your sentence so it should begin: "Do the irregular...."

The mnemonic device: "Say Vin Diesel has ten weapons" may help for sé, ven, di, sal, haz, ten, ve, pon.

I did a post about this in September, 2013 here is a link to it.

Say "Vin Diesel has ten weapons
