Nosotros commands are the Spanish equivalent of English "Let's …". Form them by switching the present-tense vowel: `-amos ↔ -emos`. The same form serves both affirmative and negative.
|
|
|
|
## Key Rules
|
|
- **-ar verbs**: present `-amos` → command `-emos` (`hablamos → hablemos`).
|
|
- **-er/-ir verbs**: present `-emos`/`-imos` → command `-amos` (`comemos → comamos`, `abrimos → abramos`).
|
|
- **Negative** = same form preceded by `no`: `no hablemos`, `no comamos`.
|
|
- **Spelling-change verbs** (-car/-gar/-zar): `practicar → practiquemos`, `jugar → juguemos`, `organizar → organicemos`.
|
|
- **Stem changes** apply only to **-ir** stem-changing verbs and only with one letter: `dormir → durmamos`, `sentir → sintamos`, `pedir → pidamos`.
|
|
- **Object pronouns**: attach (with accent) in affirmative — `abrámoslo`; separate before verb in negative — `no lo abramos`.
|
|
- **Reflexive verbs**: drop the final `-s` of the verb before attaching `nos`: `sentémosnos → sentémonos`, `bañémosnos → bañémonos`. Same drop before `se`: `démosselo → démoselo`.
|
|
- **`Ir`**: affirmative `let's go` is `vamos` (informal) or `vayamos` (formal). `Let's go out` (irse) = `vámonos`. Negative uses irregular `no nos vayamos`.

## Notes & Gotchas
|
|
- The dropped `-s` before `nos`/`se` is required; saying `sentémosnos` sounds wrong.
|
|
- `Vamos` is both "we go" and informal "let's go"; context disambiguates.
|
|
- For "let's leave/go away" use `vámonos` (NOT `vayámonos`).
|
|
- Negative reflexives do NOT drop the `-s`: `no nos sentemos`.
