Intermediate Lesson 2: Commands

(1) Commands

​

Description of Commands

  • Commands in Spanish are used the same way as they are in English: to instruct someone to do something.

  • Most times, a word can be turned into a command by replacing the ending of a verb with –a/-an, or –e/-en.

  • The ending depends on the tense being used but for this lesson we will be focusing on these two endings.

  • Only one of the terms “Put” translated to “Pon” will have an –on ending.
