Vosotros Commands

Question 1

How is an affirmative vosotros command formed?

Answer 1

Drop the -r of the infinitive + -d in its place

Examples:
Llegar (to arrive)
Llegar – r + d = Llegad
Llegad a tiempo.
Arrive on time.

Comer (to eat)
Comer – r + d = comed
Comed todo.
Eat everything.

Question 2

How is a negative vosotros command formed?

Answer 2

Present subjunctive.

Examples:
No lleguéis todavía. Don’t arrive yet.
No comáis ahora. Don’t eat now.
No vayáis hasta la una. Don’t go until 1:00.

Question 3

What happens when an affirmative vosotros command is used reflexively?

Answer 3

Drop the -d.

Example:
Levantad + os = levantaos (get up)

Acostad + os = Acostaos (“Go to bed”),
