• Affirmative Informal Mandatos (commands)
• ***First, you have to think if the verb you want to use
is one of the “EASY EIGHT.” If it is one of the “EASY
EIGHT”, simply use that form:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Decir  di (say, tell)
Tener  ten (have)
Venir  ven (come)
Poner  pon (put, place, set)
Ir  ve (go)
Ser  sé (be)
Hacer  haz (do)
Salir  sal (leave)
• ***If the verb is NOT one of the “EASY
EIGHT” , use the “Drop the “S” Rule.” :
•
• Take the “tú” form of the present tense and
drop the “s”. Yes, it’s that easy!
•
• Speak Spanish! = ¡Habla español!
•
• Run, Forrest, Run! = ¡Corre, Forest, corre!
•
• Play Soccer! = ¡Juega al fútbol!
• Summary:
• Steps to an affirmative TÚ
command:
• 1. Determine if the verb is on the
“Easy Eight” list. If it is, just use
the “Easy Eight” form.
•
• 2. If the verb is NOT on the “Easy
Eight” list, take the tú form and
drop the “s.”
• SECRET HINT: You could
also just use the “ÉL, ELLA,
USTED” form. It’s the same
as the “tú” form minus the
“s.” Tricky-tricky 
