💡 Grammar Points
The 'Vosotros' Command
'Venid' is the affirmative command form for 'vosotros,' which means 'you all' or 'y'all.' It is used only in Spain to give a direct order or invitation to a group of friends or peers.
Formation Pattern
For most verbs, the 'vosotros' command is created by dropping the 'r' from the infinitive and adding 'd'. For example, 'hablar' becomes 'hablad', and 'venir' becomes 'venid'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'Venid' in Latin America
Mistake: "Using 'Venid' in Mexico or Argentina."
Correction: In almost all of Latin America, you must use 'Vengan' (the 'ustedes' form) when commanding a group of people. 'Venid' will sound highly foreign there.
⭐ Usage Tips
Affirmative vs. Negative
Remember that the affirmative command is 'venid,' but the negative command (Don't come) switches to the subjunctive form: 'No vengáis'.
