💡 Grammar Points

The 'D' Rule for Groups

In Spain, when giving a friendly command to a group, simply take the verb's basic form (like 'seguir') and change the final 'r' to a 'd'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

R vs D

Mistake: "¡Seguir adelante!"

Correction: ¡Seguid adelante! While 'seguir' is the base verb, 'seguid' is the specific form for telling people to actually do the action.

⭐ Usage Tips

Spain Specific

Only use this word in Spain. In Latin America, you would say 'sigan' instead to tell a group to keep going.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it end in 'd' instead of 'r'?

The 'd' ending is the hallmark of the 'vosotros' (you all) command form in Spain. It helps distinguish a command from the base infinitive of the verb.

Do I need an accent on 'seguid'?

No, unlike the present tense 'seguís', the command 'seguid' does not have an accent.
