[02:50:50] commands in Spanish is the English

[on-screen 02:50:51] Nosotros Commands Let’s

[02:50:52] version of Let's Do Something mainly emphasizing the we pronoun in English

[on-screen 02:50:55] “We” Commands In English:

[02:50:56] it's a very easy concept because it doesn't matter what verb we use we simply have to put the phrase let and

[on-screen 02:50:59] “We” Commands In English: Let’s speak Let’s eat Let’s open

[02:51:00] then we put any verb we want like let's speak let's eat let's open and so on it literally doesn't matter what verb we use the form of the verb in the wi command will always have the same form as the infinitive in Spanish this idea completely changes for basically every type of verb but there are some patterns to follow for regular ar verbs you keep

[on-screen 02:51:17] Nosotros Commands: -ar verbs: amos

[02:51:18] the same ending as you would in the present and change a to a for regular e

[on-screen 02:51:22] Nosotros Commands: -ar verbs: -er/-ir verbs: emos emos/imos

[02:51:22] r and i verbs you keep the same ending as you would in the present and change

[on-screen 02:51:27] Nosotros Commands: -ar verbs: -er/-ir verbs: emos amos

[02:51:27] the e or e to a if you take a closer look you can probably tell that only one letter changes so it's almost like a

[on-screen 02:51:33] Nosotros Commands: -ar verbs: -er/-ir verbs: emos amos

[02:51:33] switch between the types of verbs the best thing about these changes and for every verb there is in the noos command is that these changes are kept even in the negative command abl means we speak

[on-screen 02:51:41] Nosotros Commands: hablamos ~ we speak

[02:51:43] but ablos means let's speak Kos means we

[on-screen 02:51:44] Nosotros Commands: hablamos > we speak hablemos > let’s speak comemos > we eat

[02:51:46] eat but K means let's eat abos means we

[on-screen 02:51:47] Nosotros Commands: hablamos ~ we speak hablemos > let’s speak comemos > we eat comamos > let’s eat abrimos > we open

[02:51:50] open but abamos means let's open and in

[on-screen 02:51:51] Nosotros Commands: hablamos > we speak hablemos > let’s speak comemos ~ we eat comamos > let’s eat abrimos > we open abramos > let’s open

[02:51:53] the negative they keep their forms with

[on-screen 02:51:55] Nosotros Commands: hablamos > we speak no hablemos > let’s not speak comemos > we eat no comamos > let’s not eat abrimos > we open no abramos > let’s not open

[02:51:55] no in the beginning that's how regular verbs function with noos commands both in the affirmative and negative however

[on-screen 02:52:01] Irregular Nosotros Commands:

[02:52:01] there are many irregular verbs in the nosos commands but I will not put all of them in this video because you don't need all of them if anything I'll give the most useful verbs once that you can just memorize these verbs

[on-screen 02:52:11] Irregular Nosotros Commands: © Conducir (to drive) - conduzcamos (let’s drive) * Decir (to say/tell) - digamos (let’s say/tell) © Hacer (to do/make) - hagamos (let’s do/make) © Oir (to hear) - oigamos (let’s hear) * Tener (to have) - tengamos (let‘s have) * Traer (to bring) - traigamos (let’s bring) © Venir (to come) - vengamos (let’s come) * Ver (to see) - veamos (let’s see) © Dar (to give) - demos (let’s give) ¢ Ser (to be) - seamos (let‘s be) ¢ Estar (to be) - estemos (let’s be) ¢ Saber (to know) - sepamos (let’s know)

[02:52:16] ver and in case you want to use these verbs in the's commands now you know how and of course there's other verbs that follow these irregular patterns but you don't need to know all of them after these verbs there are verbs ending in k

[on-screen 02:52:27] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (verbs ending in -car, -gar, -zar)

[02:52:29] g and Zar and these verbs have a spelling change in the nro's command while changing the ending to practicar

[on-screen 02:52:34] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (verbs ending in -car, -gar, -zar) Practicar > practiquemos (let’s practice) Jugar > juguemos (let’s play) Organizar > organicemos (let’s organize)

[02:52:34] becomes practicos meaning let's practice hugar becomes hugos meaning let's play and organizar becomes organos meaning let's organize if if you see any other verb that ends in K G andar remember to change the ending and spelling in case you want to use it in the noos command

[on-screen 02:52:51] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs)

[02:52:51] after these verbs there are stem changing verbs and there's one important thing you need to know about them and that is only stem changing verbs that

[on-screen 02:52:57] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs) Important Note: ONLY stem-changing verbs that end in ir CHANGE their stem, but only with ONE letter

[02:52:58] end in IR change their stem but only with one letter like dormir which goes

[on-screen 02:53:02] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs) (ou) dormir - to sleep

[02:53:03] from o to U in the noos command it will be dur meaning let's sleep not damos

[on-screen 02:53:06] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs) (ou) dormir - to sleep durmamos > let’s sleep _ToermertiQs.

[02:53:08] it's a tricky exception but it's easy to memorize there's other verbs like C and

[on-screen 02:53:12] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs) (ei) sentir - to feel (ei) pedir - to ask for

[02:53:13] P which are also stem changing verbs ending in ir and they would be sintamos

[on-screen 02:53:17] Irregular Nosotros Commands: (stem-changing verbs) (ei) sentir - to feel (e>i) pedir - to ask for sintamos > let’s feel pidamos > let’s ask for

[02:53:17] and pedamos meaning let's feel and let's ask for that's how stem changing verbs specifically verbs ending in IR work with nosal's commands these commands can

[on-screen 02:53:25] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs:

[02:53:26] likewise work with direct and indirect object pronouns but it's a bit more tricky in the affirmative the pronouns

[on-screen 02:53:30] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: important Note: In the affirmative, DOPs & IOPs are attached to the verb (with accents), but in the negative, they’re separated with no accent

[02:53:31] are attached to the verb with accents but in the negative they're separated with no accent abamos means let's open

[on-screen 02:53:36] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it

[02:53:37] it and in the negative it's noos let's

[on-screen 02:53:40] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it

[02:53:41] not open it both phrases have the verb and the pronoun and it's attached in the affirmative with an accent but separated in the negative compros can mean let by

[on-screen 02:53:48] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it comprémoslos > let’s buy them (an object)

[02:53:49] them with them being an object and in the negative the sentence is no let's

[on-screen 02:53:53] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it comprémoslos > let’s buy them (an object) no los compremos > let’s not buy them

[02:53:54] not buy them both phrases likewise have

[on-screen 02:53:55] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it comprémoslos > let’s buy them (an object) no los compremos > let’s not buy them

[02:53:56] the verb and the pronoun can mean let's

[on-screen 02:53:58] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it comprémoslos > let’s buy them (an object) no los compremos > let’s not buy them llevémostelo > let’s bring you it

[02:53:59] bring you it and in the negative it's notos let's not bring you it of course

[on-screen 02:54:02] Nosotros Commands With DOPs & IOPs: abramoslo > let’s open it no lo abramos > let’s not open it comprémoslos > let’s buy them (an object) no los compremos > let’s not buy them llevémostelo > let’s bring you it no te lo llevemos > let’s not bring you it

[02:54:04] you can make any sentence you want using these commands with direct and indirect object pronouns the last concept to know

[on-screen 02:54:09] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs:

[02:54:10] with Nosotros commands is reflexive verbs because we're only working with Nosotros the indirect object pronoun NOS

[on-screen 02:54:16] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros)

[02:54:16] will always be used with reflexive verbs especially in the affirmative where NOS is attached to the verb Spanish has a

[on-screen 02:54:21] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) VERY Important Note: When nos is attached to the affirmative nosotros command, the final “s” is dropped from the verb ending in order to generate a better sound

[02:54:22] very important rule saying that when NOS is attached to the affirmative nosos command the final s is dropped from the verb ending in order for the word to sound better when said take the

[on-screen 02:54:31] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) sentarse - to sit down

[02:54:31] reflexive verb how would you say this verb in the no's command you would want to sayos no and while this makes sense

[on-screen 02:54:36] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) sentarse - to sit down sentémosnos > let’s sit down

[02:54:38] Spanish says that this word sounds bad when said so we need to eliminate the S to avoid repeating the same sound so the the phrase would be SOS meaning let's

[on-screen 02:54:45] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) sentarse - to sit down sentémonos > let’s sit down

[02:54:46] sit down and in the negative the indirect object pronoun is put before the verb while the verb itself is conjugated the proper way no noos let's

[on-screen 02:54:53] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) sentarse - to sit down sentémonos > let’s sit down no nos sentemos > let’s not sit down

[02:54:54] not sit down as you can see in the affirmative the S is dropped but in the negative the S is kept as a side note the rule of dropping an S also applies

[on-screen 02:55:01] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: (nos will always be used, hence nosotros) VERY Important Note: When nos or se is attached to the affirmative nosotros command, the final “s” is dropped from the verb ending in order to generate a better sound

[02:55:02] for the indirect object pronoun say meaning to him to her or to them when it's attached to the verb in the affirmative in order to avoid repeating the same letter and the same sound how

[on-screen 02:55:11] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s give him it

[02:55:11] would you say the phrase let's give him it you would want say de but Spanish

[on-screen 02:55:15] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s give him it > démosselo a él

[02:55:16] says to eliminate the final s from the verb to avoid repeating the same letter so the phrase would be deos let's give him it in the negative the phrase would

[on-screen 02:55:24] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s give him it > démoselo a él let’s not give him it > no se lo demos a él

[02:55:24] be no let's not give him it with an s present in the verb how would you say

[on-screen 02:55:28] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s make her it

[02:55:29] let's make her

[on-screen 02:55:31] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s make her it > hagamoselo a ella

[02:55:31] it with the S dropped from the verb in the negative the phrase is no let's not

[on-screen 02:55:35] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s make her it > hagamoselo a ella let’s not make her it > no se lo hagamos a ella

[02:55:37] make her it with an s present in the verb how would you say let's take a bath

[on-screen 02:55:40] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s take a bath

[02:55:41] Bonos in the negative the phrase is no

[on-screen 02:55:42] Nosotros Commands With Reflexive Verbs: let’s take a bath > bahémonos let’s not take a bath > no nos bahemos

[02:55:44] no BOS with an s in the verb that's what happens when no and say are attached to the verbs in the affirmative form at

[on-screen 02:55:50] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)”

[02:55:50] last there's the verb which is the trickiest verb in the noos command because it's the only verb that has multiple meanings both in the present and command forms and here is what I mean if we want to say we're going we need to say vamos the word vamos itself

[on-screen 02:56:02] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” we’re going - vamos

[02:56:03] is taken from the present simple which means we're going but Spanish adds its second definition to vamos meaning let

[on-screen 02:56:09] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” we’re going - vamos let’s go - vamos

[02:56:09] go however using vamos as let go is informal in context because there's the second word in Spanish that means let's go IR is actually irregular in the no's command being V which formally means

[on-screen 02:56:19] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” vamos - let’s go vayamos - let’s go

[02:56:21] let's go both V and V mean let's go but context will change the action based on the situation the reason why I'm concentrating on the word vamos so much is because in Spanish you have the reflexive verb meaning to go out this

[on-screen 02:56:32] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out)

[02:56:33] verb is very tricky to understand especially with no's commands now that I have shown you Vos and vayamos as let's go how would you say the phrase let's go out since I said that V is the irregular form of let's go some of you might say

[on-screen 02:56:46] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vayamonos > let’s go out

[02:56:46] vamonos but actually it's the incorrect

[on-screen 02:56:48] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vaysmna Bos + let’s go out

[02:56:48] way to say let's go out so instead you need to say vamonos using the present simple version of with s dropped from the end of the verb Vos means let's go out or let's leave if you want to be formal and a lot of beginners hear this word but never understand what it means and now hopefully you understand the reason I emphasized vamos so much is

[on-screen 02:57:05] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vamonos > let’s go out vamos

[02:57:07] because it ties back to the reflexive

[on-screen 02:57:07] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vamonos > let’s go out vamos ———+» irse

[02:57:08] verb meaning to go out and rather than using the irregular vamonos form you need to say vamonos in the negative

[on-screen 02:57:14] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vamonos > let’s go out In the negative, we \iUST use the irregular form of “irse,” being vayamos

[02:57:14] however we have to use the irregular form of so the phrase is not nonos but

[on-screen 02:57:19] Nosotros Commands With “ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vamonos > let’s go out no nos vamos

[02:57:20] rather nonos let's not go out this is

[on-screen 02:57:21] Nosotros Commands With “Ir (to go)” (irse - let’s go out) vamonos > let’s go out no nos vayamos > let’s not go out

[02:57:22] how and function with no's commands past
