“Doler” (oue) to hurt; to be
hurting (part 1 of 2)
• Just like “gustar,” “doler” (oue) is one of those
crazy backwards verbs. This means that you
only use two forms: “DUELE” or “DUELEN,”
depending on what hurts. You must also use
“me, te, le, nos, os, les.”

**Remember: affirmative commands
tú form, take off “s”
easy eight (p. 252)
reflexives get attached- lávate
***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 
