⇒ There are many different types of Spanish commands, including affirmative tú commands, formal commands, indirect commands, nosotros commands, and negative tú commands.

⇒ We'll take a look at negative tú commands in these notes. ¡No te espantes! (Don't freak out!)

⇒ Negative informal commands, also called negative tú commands, are used to tell a friend, family member the same age as you or younger, classmate, child, or pet not to do something.

⇒ Always make sure you put no or another negative word like nunca (never) in front of the verb when forming a negative informal command.

⇒ The negative informal imperative, yet another term used to describe negative tú commands, is formed differently than the affirmative informal imperative.

⇒ It is actually formed much like the negative formal imperative in that it uses the present subjunctive form of the verb.

⇒ If you already know the formal command forms, you can simply add an s to the end of the formal command to form a negative informal command.

⇒ If a verb is irregular in the present subjunctive, its negative informal command form maintains the same irregularity.

⇒ In negative informal commands, the pronoun goes between the negative word (like no or nunca) and the verb.
