Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you say 'no hagas' for 'don't do', but 'haz' for 'do'?
It's a tricky rule in Spanish! For 'tú' commands, the positive (do it!) and negative (don't do it!) forms are often different. 'Haz' is a special short form for the positive command, while 'no hagas' follows the regular pattern for negative commands.
When do I use 'hagas' vs. 'haces'?
Use 'haces' for facts or questions about what someone is currently doing ('¿Qué haces?' - What are you doing?). Use 'hagas' for non-facts: when you're talking about wishes, doubts, possibilities, or telling someone NOT to do something. If you see 'quiero que', 'espero que', 'dudo que', or 'no' for a command, you'll probably need 'hagas'.
