Which is the correct negative tú command for the regular verb 'trabajar'?
no trabajas
trabajes
trabaja
no trabajes
For regular -ar verbs, the negative command is formed using the present subjunctive. 'No trabajes' correctly follows the rules for forming negative tú commands.
In affirmative tú commands with attached pronouns, what effect does the addition of a pronoun have on the verb's accentuation?
The pronoun attaches to the verb without changing its natural stress, so no accent is added.
The pronoun is placed before the verb, eliminating the need for accent changes.
The pronoun attaches to the verb, and if this alters the original stress, an accent must be added to maintain it.
The pronoun always requires a new accent to be added, regardless of the stress pattern.
When a pronoun attaches to an affirmative tú command, it can change the natural stress of the verb. An accent is added if the original stress is altered, ensuring proper pronunciation.
For the reflexive verb 'ducharse', which is the correct affirmative tú command and why must an accent be added?
dúchate, because the attached pronoun changes the word's stress, requiring an accent adjustment.
no te duches, as negative commands omit accents.
duchate, with no accent, as the stress remains unchanged.
duchate, because the pronoun is separated from the verb.
Affirmative commands with reflexive verbs attach the pronoun to the end of the verb. In 'dúchate', an accent is added to preserve the original stress, making it the correct form.
Which of the following is the correct negative tú command form for the verb 'leer', and what rule does it follow?
no leyas
no leas
no leîs
no lees
Negative tú commands are formed using the present subjunctive mood rather than the indicative. For the verb 'leer', this rule produces 'no leas', which is the accurate negative command.
Which statement best explains the difference between affirmative and negative tú commands?
Affirmative commands use the present indicative, while negative commands use the present subjunctive.
Affirmative commands use the infinitive form, while negative commands use the subjunctive.
Affirmative commands are derived from the present indicative, whereas negative commands are derived from the present subjunctive.
Both affirmative and negative commands use the same form; the difference is only in intonation.
Affirmative tú commands are generally based on the third-person singular of the present indicative, while negative tú commands are constructed using the present subjunctive. This distinction is fundamental to proper command formation in Spanish.
How is the reflexive verb 'acostarse' correctly transformed into its negative tú command form, considering pronoun placement?
no acuestes te
no acuéstate
no te acuestes
te acuestes
For negative commands with reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun is placed before the conjugated verb. 'No te acuestes' is correct because it follows the proper structure and conjugation rules of negative tú commands.

Affirmative & Negative Tu Commands Practice Cheat Sheet

  1. Forming Affirmative Tú Commands - To whip up affirmative tú commands, simply grab the third-person singular of the present indicative. It's as easy as turning hablar into "¡Habla!" when you want someone to speak up. ¡Ponte creativo y practica! Affirmative Informal Tú Commands
  2. Forming Negative Tú Commands - Negative tú commands start with the yo form, drop the "-o," then add "-es" for -ar verbs or "-as" for -er/-ir verbs. So hablar becomes "¡No hables!" when you need someone to zip it. Use this trick to keep those pesky errors at bay. Negative Tú Commands
  3. Irregular Affirmative Tú Commands - Some verbs go rogue and refuse to follow the rules - like decir (di), hacer (haz), and ir (ve). Memorize these eight rebels (di, haz, ve, pon, sal, sé, ten, ven) to avoid command chaos. Your Spanish will sound suavísimo! Irregular Tú Commands
  4. Irregular Negative Tú Commands - Even negative commands have their own VIP club: dar (no des), estar (no estés), ir (no vayas), ser (no seas). No more surprises when you tell someone "¡No vayas!" Just keep this mini-list handy. Irregular Negative Tú Commands
  5. Stem-Changing Verbs in Commands - Stem-changers like cerrar (cierro → cierra) keep their vowel shifts in both affirmative and negative forms. Practice "¡Cierra la puerta!" and "¡No cierres la puerta!" to lock in the pattern. Your ears will thank you when pronunciation stays on point. Stem-Changing Commands
  6. Verbs Ending in -car, -gar, -zar - Watch out for spelling tweaks in negative tú commands: -car → -ques, -gar → -gues, -zar → -ces. For example, tocar turns into "¡No toques!" so you don't mess up the pronunciation. Master these to avoid awkward "k" blunders. Spelling Changes
  7. Pronoun Placement in Affirmative Commands - In affirmative commands, glue object pronouns to the end of the verb: "¡Cómpralo!" (Buy it!). If your command has more than one syllable, drop in an accent (¡Dímelo!) to keep the stress level on point. It's like giving your verb a little party hat! Pronouns in Affirmative Commands
  8. Pronoun Placement in Negative Commands - Negative tú commands are more polite: pronouns sit before the verb but after "no": "¡No lo compres!" (Don't buy it!). This order keeps things clear and your Spanish sounding polished. ¡Y listo! Pronouns in Negative Commands
  9. Accent Marks with Pronouns - When you attach pronouns to an affirmative command with more than one syllable, add an accent to keep the original stress (¡Dímelo!, ¡Háblame!). Without it, the whole word could shift in pronunciation. Nail this tip to sound like a native! Accent Rules
  10. Practice with Flashcards - Flashcards are your best amigo for drilling both affirmative and negative commands until they stick in your brain. Quiz yourself on forms, irregulars, and pronoun placement to build confidence. Soon you'll be commanding like a pro - ¡sin estrés! Flashcards Practice
