1 MANDATOS Commands

2 MANDATOS When you ask someone to do something, you basically say:
YOU, DO THIS! (or at least think of it this way in Spanish.) So, one needs to figure out who is the YOU.

3 MANDATOS When you talk to a stranger, an adult, or a person who commands some respect, use USTED. When you talk to a friend, sibling, parent, person younger than you, or anyone with whom you are on a first-name-basis, etc., use TÚ. When you are talking to two or more people, use USTEDES.

4 MANDATOS USTED Take the (present-tense) yo-form of the verb, drop the –o, and add: -e (if it was originally an –ar verb.) -a (if it was originally an –er/-ir verb.) Hint: this is when Sra. S. does the CLICK sound, and twists her fingers!

You, write! Escriba (Ud.) Sometimes the YO-form looks & is irregular: -pongo → ponga -digo → diga -conozco → conozca
