Key learning points
- Use the affirmative imperative to tell somebody to do something or to give instructions.
- For 'tú' commands, use -a for -ar verbs and -e for -er/-ir verbs in the affirmative imperative: habla, come, escribe.
- Irregular imperative verbs include: 'sé', 've', 'ten', 'ven', 'haz', 'di', 'pon', 'sal'.
- To form the familiar affirmative imperative of reflexive verbs, add the pronoun 'te' along with any necessary accents.
Keywords
Imperative - form of verbs used to give instructions or commands
Common misconception
To give an order or command to 'tú' (you, informal), you should use the 2nd person singular form of the verb.
When talking to somebody familiar to you ('tú') with the affirmative imperative of an -ar verb, use the ending -a, and for an -er or -ir verb, use the ending -e. Irregular imperative verbs include: 'sé', 've', 'ten', 'ven', 'haz', 'di', 'pon', 'sal'.
Teacher tip
It is important to be aware of the fact that AQA require role-play answers to contain a verb.
