  1. ANTE TODO • You have already learned familiar (tú) commands and formal (Ud./Uds.) commands. • You will now learn nosotros/as commands, which are used to give orders or suggestions that include yourself and other people.

  2. InfinitiveNosotros/as form ofNosotros/ascommand present subjunctive cruzar  crucemos  (no) crucemos (nosotros/as) comer  comamos  (no) comamos (nosotros/as) escribir  escribamos  (no) escribamos (nosotros/as) pedir  pidamos  (no) pidamos (nosotros/as) salir  salgamos  (no) salgamos (nosotros/as) volver  volvamos  (no) volvamos (nosotros/as)

  3. Nosotros/as commands correspond to the English Let’s. • As the chart in the previous slide shows, both affirmative and negative nosotros/as commands are generally formed by using the first-person plural form of the present subjunctive. Crucemos la calle. Let’s cross the street. No crucemos la calle. Let’s not cross the street.

  4. The affirmative Let’s + [verb] command may also be expressed with vamos a + [infinitive]. • Remember, however, that vamos a + [infinitive] can also mean we are going to (do something). • Context and tone of voice determine which meaning is being expressed. Vamos a cruzar la calle. Let’s cross the street. Vamos a trabajar mucho. We’re going to work a lot.

  5. To express Let’s go, the present indicative form of ir (vamos) is used, not the subjunctive. • For the negative command, however, the subjunctive is used. Vamos a la pescadería. Let’s go to the fishmarket. Novayamos a la pescadería. Let’s not go to the fishmarket.

  6. Object pronouns are attached to affirmative nosotros/as commands. A written accent is added to maintain the original stress. Firmemos el cheque.  Firmémoslo. Let’s sign the check. Let’s sign it. Escribamos a Ana y Raúl.  Escribámosles. Let’s write to Ana and Raúl. Let’s write to them. • Object pronouns are placed in front of negative nosotros/as commands. No les paguemos el préstamo. No se lo digamos a ellos. Let’s not pay them the loan. Let’s not tell them. No lo compremos. No se la presentemos. Let’s not buy it. Let’s not introduce her.

  7. When nos or se are attached to an affirmative nosotros/as command, the final –s is dropped from the verb ending. Sentémonos allí. Démoselo a ella. Let’s sit there. Let’s give it to her. • The nosotros/as command form of irse (to go away) is vámonos. ¡Vámonos de vacaciones! Let´s go away on vacation! • Its negative form is no nos vayamos. No nos vayamos de aquí. Let´s not go away from here.
