Most formal command forms can be derived from the yo form of the present tense.
Note that the “opposite” vowel is used:
-ar → e
-er/-ir → a
2.Stem-changing Verbs
Formal commands for stem-changing verbs will show the stem change, since the stem
vowel is stressed. Base the command on the yo form to get the stem change right.
