Informal Commands

Tú commands are the singular form of informal commands. You can use affirmative tú commands to tell a friend, family member the same age as you or younger, classmate, child, or pet to do something.

Even though informal commands are referred to as Tú commands, the pronoun tú is NOT used with the actual command.

For regular verbs, you will simply use the third-person singular form of the present tense to form an affirmative tú command.

That is, the Él, Ella, Usted form of the verb.

For verbs that end in -ar, add the third-person singular ending -a to the stem

For verbs that end in -er and -ir, add the third-person singular ending -e to the stem
