Commands Practice (Imperative)

Commands show up everywhere in DELE speaking: giving advice, instructions, and recommendations without sounding hesitant.

The trap is speed: affirmative commands, negative commands, and irregular forms collide when you’re under pressure.

This drill trains the forms you actually need to produce cleanly — quickly, with immediate correction.

DELE outcomes

  • Sound more confident when giving advice (haz, di, ve, pon, ven…).
  • Stop mixing negative commands with indicative forms.
  • Reduce pauses when switching polarity under pressure (haz → no hagas).

Common mistakes to fix

  • Negative commands: no + present subjunctive (no hagas, no vayas).
  • Irregular tú affirmative commands (di, haz, ve, pon, sal, sé, ten, ven).
  • Teaching note: in real Spanish, pronouns attach and spelling/accents can change (dímelo, tráiganoslo, siéntate, vámonos). This drill focuses on plain command forms.
  • Confusing usted/ustedes forms when speaking quickly.
