Irregular Commands ("Tú")

Notes:

  1. The written lesson is below.
  2. Links to quizzes, tests, etc. are to the left.

The following eight verbs have irregular familiar commands in the affirmative:

decir – di salir – sal
hacer – haz ser – sé
ir – ve tener – ten
poner – pon venir – ven

Note that these irregularities only occur with affirmative tú commands. As with all other verbs, to form negative informal commands with these verbs, use the “tú” form of the present subjunctive.

Di la verdad.
(Tell the truth.)
No digas mentiras.
(Don’t tell lies.)
Haz tu tarea.
(Do your homework.)
No hagas eso.
(Don’t do that.)

Let’s add another flashcard for the irregular tú commands:
