  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. Nosotros/as commands correspond to the English Let’s. • Both affirmative and negative nosotros/as commands are generally formed by using the first-person plural form of the present subjunctive. (nosotros form) Remember that the nosotros subjunctive –ar and –er get no stem changes. Nosotros subjunctive for –ir stem changing verbs get e-i or o-u. • cruzar la calle = to cross the street Crucemos la calle.Let’s cross the street. No crucemos la calle.Let’s not cross the street.

  3. 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). • Vamos a rezar. = Let’s pray. / We are going to pray. • 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.

  4. To express Let’s go, the present indicative form of ir(vamos) is used, not the subjunctive. Vamosa la pescadería. • For the negative command, however, the subjunctive is used. No vayamosa la pescadería.

  5. Object pronouns are always attached to affirmative nosotros/as commands. A written accent is added to maintain the original stress. Firmemos el cheque.  Firmémoslo. Escribamos a Ana y a Raúl.  Escribámosles. • Object pronouns are placed in front of negative nosotros/as commands. No les paguemos el préstamo. No se lo digamos a ellos.

  6. ¡ATENCIÓN! • When nos or se are attached to an affirmative nosotros/as command, the final –s is dropped from the verb ending. Sentemos+nos allí= Sentémonos allí. Demos+ se+ lo a ella. = Démoselo a ella. Mandemos+ se+ lo a ellos. = Mandémoselo a ellos. • The nosotros/as command form of irse (to go away) is vámonos. • Its negative form is no nos vayamos.
