1 EL IMPERATIVO Commands

2 Imperativo tú / vosotros  The informal imperatives are used to give instructions to people who you know well or who are younger than you.  These can then be sub-divided into singular (tú) and plural (vosotros) depending on to whom you are talking..

3 IMPERATIVO (positivo) CON TÚ  Use the tú form of the present tense and take away the -s. This applies for stem change verbs. HABLARCOMERESCRIBIR HablaComeEscribe

6 Where do we put the reflexive/object pronouns? they are put AFTER the verb in imperative, but together with the verb: sentarse: siéntate callarse: cállate levantarse: levántate cógelo/ traelo / ponla / ábrelos/ for VOSOTROS, the pronoun goes after the imperative but the D disappears. callaos/ levantaos/ sentaos
