Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'sigas' the same as 'sigues'?
No. Both mean 'you follow/continue,' but 'sigues' is used for facts and certainty (Indicative mood: 'Tú sigues las reglas' - You follow the rules), while 'sigas' is used for wishes, doubts, emotions, or commands (Subjunctive mood: 'Espero que sigas bien' - I hope you continue well).
How do I form the negative command for 'tú'?
You use the 'sigas' form! The negative command is always formed using the present subjunctive. So, 'Don't follow' is 'No sigas'.
