Avancemos 25.1 - Negative tú commands
When Are Negative Commands Used?
Negative Commands are used when you tell a person to not do an action.
For Example: If you tell someone NOT to do somethingthen in Spanish the negative command would be used.
If you want to make a tú command negative (don’t…), you have to change the verb completely. You should follow a 3 step process:
How to form a negative tú command
1) Go to the yo form of the verb.
2) Drop the “o” (you are now left with the stem)
3) Add the opposite tú ending. (For “ar” verbs add –es. For “er/ir” verbs add –as).
4) ***DON’T FORGET TO ADD THE ‘NO’ IN FRONT OF THE VERB!
How to form a negative tú command
However…if a verb is irregular in the “yo” form, it will also be irregular in the negative tú command.Examples:(go verbs)Poner yo pongo ( I put) No pongas (don’t put) Salir yo salgo ( I leave) No salgas (don’t leave)Traer yo traigo ( I bring) No traigas (don’t bring)
(stem changers)Probar yo pruebo ( I taste) No pruebes ( don’t taste)Pedir yo pido ( I order) No pidas (don’t order)Dormir yo duermo ( I sleep) No duermas (don’t sleep)

Pronouns with negative tú commands
As you know, when using object pronouns (me, te, lo, la, los, las etc.) with positive commands, you must attach them to the end.
With negative commands, the object pronouns go BEFORE the command (between the “NO” and the command).

GOOD NEWS!! - You will not need to worry about accents with negative commands because you are not changing the original stress of the word (the pronunciation)! Woohoo!
