Nosotros Commands – Un Repaso

How do you form commands in the Nosotros form?

1. Take the present tense verb conjugation of the verb a. Tener – Tengo b. Pernoctar – Pernocto c. Vivir - Vivo 2. Drop the –o a. Tengo – Teng b. Pernocto – Pernoct c. Vivo - Viv 3. Use the opposite ending for that verb (-AR verbs end with –er endings and –ER/IR verbs end with –ar endings) a. Teng – TengAMOS (TenER) b. Pernoct – PernoctEMOS (PernoctAR) c. Viv – VivAMOS (VivIR) 4. Verbs that end in –cir will add a ZC before the opposite endings a. Traducir – TraduZCAMOS 5. Verbs that end in –gir will change the G to a J before adding the opposite endings a. Elegir – EliJAMOS 6. Verbs that end in –car will change the C to a QU before adding the opposite endings a. Practicar – PractiQUEMOS 7. Verbs that end in –gar will change the G to a GU before adding the opposite endings a. Llegar – LleGUEMOS 8.
