For the Irregular affirmative tu commads there are eight: decir, hacer, ir, poner, salir, tener, venir and ser. Each one with their irregular forms accordingly. But what happens to these verbs when they are in negative tu commands?
Irregular negative tú commands
- Thread starter bluesoda541
- Start date
decir --> no digas
hacer --> no hagas
ir --> no vayas
poner --> no pongas
salir --> no salgas
venir --> no vengas
ser --> no seas
basically, take the present indicative 1st person singular conjugation, then replace the ending with -as. the verb ir is the obvious exception.
hacer --> no hagas
ir --> no vayas
poner --> no pongas
salir --> no salgas
venir --> no vengas

So, the five irregular verbs are overlapped? (dar, estar, ir, saber, ser)
I'm im not sure what you mean by overlapped, but they would be
dar --> no des
estar --> no estés
saber --> no sepas (altho im not sure when I'd id use this negative command)
dar --> no des
estar --> no estés
saber --> no sepas (altho im not sure when I'd id use this negative command)

I meant that the 5 irregulars are omited for the irregular tu commands. Are they?
Sorry I don´t understand what you mean.
But anyway, whatever the verb is, the negative command is always:
-no + present subjuntive:
no vayas, no hagas, no estés, no seas, no hables, ....
If the verb is reflexive, you put the pronoun before the verb:
- no te vayas, no te rindas, no te duches....
typically spanish for non-native speakers teaches the imperative mood before the subjunctive mood, and is used as a way of introducing conjugation in the subjunctive.
students are typically taught that the present subjunctive is formed with the conjugation in the negative imperative as a model.
What franmadrid said is your basic answer, as well as the other posts. I just add that you can use the WR DIctionary above, look for the word, click on Conjugator, and look for the Subjunctive tú form.
e.g.
hazlo (tú)-----------no lo hagas (tú)
dime.......................no me digas
etc.
Please note corrections to your first post. Tu and tú have different meanings.
P.S. Maybe what you meant was that these commands become regular in the negative.
