💡 Grammar Points
The Informal 'You' Command
'Haz' is the command form of 'hacer' (to do/make) that you use when talking to one person you know well, like a friend, a family member, or a child. It's the 'tú' form.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up 'haz' and 'haces'
Mistake: "'Tú haces la tarea.' (You are doing the homework.)"
Correction: 'Haz la tarea.' (Do the homework.) Use 'haz' to give a command or instruction. Use 'haces' to state a fact or ask a question about what someone does.
⭐ Usage Tips
Formal vs. Informal
Use 'haz' with people you call 'tú'. If you need to give a command to someone you would call 'usted' (like a boss or an older stranger), you would use 'haga' instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'haz', 'hace', and 'haces'?
Great question! They all come from the verb 'hacer'. 'Haz' is a command you give to a friend ('Do this!'). 'Haces' is what you use to say a friend does something ('Tú haces ejercicio' - 'You exercise'). 'Hace' is for what he, she, or a formal 'you' does ('Él hace la cena' - 'He makes dinner').
Is 'haz' formal or informal?
When it's a verb, 'haz' is always informal. It's the command form for 'tú'. For a formal command, you would use 'haga'. When 'haz' is a noun (beam/bundle), it's neutral and can be used in any situation.
How do I know which 'haz' is being used?
Look for clues! If you see 'el' or 'un' right before it, it's the noun: 'un haz de luz'. If it's at the beginning of a sentence and sounds like an instruction, it's the verb command: 'Haz tu tarea'.
