Usos de los mandatos
The Imperative Mood is the set of verb forms Spanish uses to directly ask for actions from others. In addition to commanding someone to do something (e.g. Come más despacio; Bebe más agua y menos bebidas azucaradas), it has other communicative functions, such as:
- making a request
- Por favor, ayúdame con este problema.
- making a suggestion
- Prueba cosas nuevas.
- giving encouragement or support
- Tranquilízate, que todo saldrá bien.
Note that the subject is almost never used with these verb forms.
Formación de los mandatos informales afirmativos
For informal tú commands, the command form is different depending on whether the command is affirmative (i.e. telling someone "yes, do this") or negative (i.e. telling them "no, don't do this"). The forms for the affirmative informal commands are described below.
Affirmative tú commands use the third person singular of the present indicative (that is, the usted/él/ella form):
- Ya es tarde; descansa.
- Piensa antes de actuar.
- Sigue las instrucciones, por favor.
However, there are eight irregulars:

|||||||||
One useful trick to remember these irregulars is the phrase: "Vin Diesel has ten weapons, eh?", which is roughly what comes out when you say them quickly in this order: ven di sal haz ten ve pon sé
