did you ever hear these NEGATIVE commands in your life?
In spanish, these commands are called the NEGATIVE 'Tú' commands.
**How do we use negative 'Tú' commands?
1. cojugate the verb to its preset 'yo'(I) form.
2. drop the -o
3. for -ar verb : add -es
for -er or -ir verb : add -as
4.Don't forget to put the NO in front of the verb
5.Say it like you mean it!
Ta-da!! Easy Easy!!!!!
Here is an example :)
todays verb : comer (to eat)
1. como
2 com
3. comas
4. No comas
5. ¡No comas!

simple? ofcourse!
*** Wait!!! there are irregulars!!!
dar -> no des
ir -> no vayas
estar -> no estés
ser-> no seas
sorry you just have to memorize them
***Don't leave yet! there are 3 extraordinary verb endings..
if the verb ends with -car, -gar, -zar you have to change the endings...
-car : c -> qu ____________ picar-> No piques
-gar : g->gu ____________ pagar-> No pagues
-zar : z->c ____________empezar-> No empieces
***One more thing!!! Don't forget about the Pronouns!!!
*for affirmative commands..
pronouns are attached to the affirmative command

B: Sí, pícalas
*for negative commands
pronouns go right before the conjugated verb.
A: ¿Pico los tomates también?
B: No, no los piques
