Document Summary
Formal commands are verb forms used to tell others to do something. Use formal commands for people you would address as usted or ustedes. Abra la sesi n a las 14:00 horas en punto. The stem of the command form is the same as the stem of the yo form of the present tense, evern for stem-changing and most irregular verbs. The use of usted or ustedes with the command form is optional. When used, usted or ustedes normally follows the command. To make a command negative, place no before the affirmative command. Object pronouns and reflexive pronouns are attached to the end of an affirmative action command. Object and reflexive pronouns preced negative commands and are not attached. Dar, ir, ser, and saber have irregular command forms. Verbs ending in, -car, -gar, -zar, -ger, and guir have spelling changes in the command form.
