First-Person Commands (nosotros) Nosotros commands are used when the speaker is included, and are used to express the idea "let's + verb." To form these commands, use the nosotros form of the present subjunctive. Comamos allí. Let's eat there. Contemos el dinero. Let's count the money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To form the negative command, place the word no before the same verb form (present subjunctive). No comamos allí. Let's not eat there. No contemos el dinero. Let's not count the money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only exception is the verb ir(se), which uses the present indicative for the affirmative command only. Vamos ahora. Let's go now. but No vayamos a la tienda. Let's not go to the store. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As with other commands, a written accent is often required when pronouns are added. With affirmative commands, the final "s" of the verb form is dropped before adding the pronouns "nos" or "se." Sentemos + nos = Sentémonos. Let's sit down. Escribamos + se + la = Escribámosela. Let's write it to them. But not with negative commands. No nos sentemos. Let's not sit down. No se la escribamos. Let's not write it to them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that "Vamos a + infinitive" can also be used to convey the meaning "Let's ___." Note the two different ways of saying the same thing. Trabajemos juntos. Let's work together. Vamos a trabajar juntos. Let's work together.

Hi Prela, The imperative is a bit difficult in Spanish. For the negative form "subjuntivo " should be used. TÚ, VOSOTROS, USTED and USTEDES are the ones that are used more than others. Examples (verb MIRAR) affirmative form: mira (tú) mire (usted) miremos (nosotros) mirad (vosotros) ---> not "mirar" miren (ellos, ellas) miren (ustedes)

---

negative form no mires (tú) no mire (usted) no miremos (nosotros) no miréis (vosotros) no miren (ellos) no miren (ustedes) An example with a reflexive verb: affirmative form: QUEDARSE quédate (tú) quédese (usted) quedémonos (nosotros) quedaos (vosotros) ---> not "quedaros" que se queden (ellos, ellas)) quédense (ustedes)

---

negative form: no te quedes (tú) no se quede (usted) no nos quedemos (nosotros) no os quedéis (vosotros) que no se queden (ellos) no se queden (estedes) [br][edited by goranbcn on 2005-06-09 12:33:52]

Hola Luces, Perdona por no haber contestado antes. Sí que vi tu pregunta pero luego se me olvidó responderte. La forma "se hiela" es correcta De todas formas aquí te pongo este verbo conjugado: yo me hielo tú te hielas él, ella se hiela nosotros/as nos helamos vosotros/as os heláis ellos, ellas se hielan Un saludo

En el uso del verbo "helarse", en tercera persona singular se conguga: Ella se hiela? me suena un poco raro. Mil gracias por la ayuda, un saludo grande y espero que la respuesta le sirva a otros que tengan la misma duda

Hola Goran, Estoy nuevo para estudiar en espanol. No se como teclear los acentos en mi teclado. Aprecie si me tu ensenes mas en espanol y corrijas mi errores. I've been exposed to spanish most of my life and now I want to start learning how to communicate with others. Here in Texas there is a large Mexican population, and it would be nice to be able to make them feel comfortable talking to me. The person who asked if there are tenses in Spanish did not ask a too rediculous question. There are languages that have no real tenses but rather rely upon adverbs and other context to determine the tense. The "conjugations" of their verbs affect the language in other ways. I would appreciate it if you would explain a couple of things. First, the difference between preterito imperfect y preterito indefinido. Second, the uses of lo, both as an independent particle and a suffix for verbs (including the kinds of verbs it is appended to...infinitive, imperative or whatever). Muchas Gracias, Mike

THanx for your help, this link is really helpful for me.

Comment written by reis on May 20, 2005 @ 11:00

First start with present if you are beginner and then when you learn it, start learning past tense and future tense. (there are more than 2, so be patient). Your question is a bit strange when you ask if there is a past or future tense...don't you think? Anyway here you have more information: http://spanish.allinfo-about.com/grammar/verbs/verbindex.html

So only three of them only in eat, live, and work, what are they for? is there any tense in spanish like future tense, past or past continuous.? By the way i have never seen Spanish before i mean i don't understand what are these words mean? Also can you tell us grammar rules?

Comment written by reis on May 18, 2005 @ 17:28

Hi Reis, In Spanish there are three types of verbs. The ones that finish in AR, other in ER and the third group in IR. EXAMPLES: (only with reguar verbs) TRABAJAR (to work) COMER (to eat) VIVIR (to live) TRABAJAR yo trabajo tú trabajas él, ella trabaja nosotros, nosotras trabajamos vosotros, vosotras trabajáis ellos, ellas trabajan COMER yo como tú comes él, ella come nosotros, nosotras comemos vosotros, vosotras coméis ellos, ellas comen VIVIR yo vivo tú vives él, ella vive nosotros, nosotras vivimos vosotros, vosotras vivís ellos, ellas viven [br][edited by goranbcn on 2005-05-17 16:08:18]
