Welcome to SpanishDict. I would suggest asking your instructor about it. What is it you need to do, what don't you understand? We won't do it for you, but will try to help you understand. Also use proper capitalization and punctuation. - rac1, Mar 22, 2017

Hi, desax.

This is a language learning site. Spanish speakers are learning English. Let's not teach them any help ??? i really need it pls when we could be teaching them I really need help, please. Understand?

Many recipes in Spanish use the passive voice instead of the imperative. But you should be able to find plenty with the imperative. Look, here's one:

http://allrecipes.com.mx/receta/8814/galletas-de-avena-con-pasas-y-nuez.aspx

It seems to have only about 10 imperatives, not the 15 that you need. Do you recognize the imperative verbs in this recipe? If so, you'll have no trouble finding a recipe with 15.

If you have specific questions about Spanish vocabulary, grammar, or usage, please. ask us. Good luck!

What level is your Spanish? I remember learning the imperative, before I started learning the subjunctive mood. Luis and Astotxua, one from Mexico the other from Spain have given you lots of help.

I suspect your teacher wants you to write 15 'orders' not necessarily 15 different verbs. You are likely to use poner and añadir more than once. Recipes are written using infinitive, se or imperative. Usually you use tu - which is the same as 3rd person present [but some are irregular like poner] I use word reference or there is a conjugator on this site.

Here is a link with some useful verbs

FluentU

We did a listening exercise in class then wrote the recipe using the se construction.

The verbs we used we

añadir/bajar/calentar/cocer/cocinar/colocar/cubrir/dorar/echar/hacer/hervir/poner/remover/repartir/reposar/revolver/sofreir

I have also seen derretir [to melt/thaw] and trocear [chop/dice]

Here is the video we watched

Paella

I suspect you are fairly new to Spanish so your teacher wants you to learn some new verbs and get better at using the imperative. I suggest you find a recipe for soup or an omelette. If you need a Spanish recipe try tortilla

Meanwhile have a go at astotxua's recipe as he has offered to correct it and check out the meaning of the words Luis has added [I don't know them all]

Remember you are doing this to improve your knowledge of commands not to show off your cookery skills

nice recipe. Watch out for stem changes eg verter You need 3rd person present but there are irregular verbs here. Here is a list http://www.timandangela.org.uk/spanish/15-imperativo-afirmativo - Mardle, Mar 23, 2017
it is a good test of your memory of the present tense. Use the edit button and add your answers It is a way of revising the imperative. You will learn than negative tu commands are different [same as subjunctive] - Mardle, Mar 23, 2017
i know how to conjugate the verbs i dont know which of them is right - desax, Mar 23, 2017
interesting your recipe also uses a se construction and as it is after para que the subjunctive [which you may not know yet] - Mardle, Mar 23, 2017
yeah it is interesting can you help me with the conjugation of the verbs - desax, Mar 23, 2017
It is your homework. I would use tu imperative which is usually 3rd person present. Here is a link to the conjugation of verter - look to bottom left. blue is where it is irregular. I am not giving more links looking it up helps you learn - Mardle, Mar 23, 2017
You have yet one of the 15 imperatives. "Bájalo". All your effort has been a cut and paste from internet?. Congratulatiions and good luck - 000a35ff, Mar 23, 2017
I hadn't spotted that one! He/she may not understand about the placement of direct objects - Mardle, Mar 23, 2017

Several have given you some help. As I stated before, no one will be giving you answers to your homework. That is against SD policy. - rac1, Mar 22, 2017
