💡 Grammar Points
The plural command in Spain
To give a friendly command to a group in Spain, take the 'r' off the end of the verb (volver) and add a 'd' (volved). It's that simple!
No stem changes here
While the verb 'volver' often changes the 'o' to 'ue' (like in 'vuelvo'), this specific 'd' form never makes that change. Keep the 'o'!
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the 'r' instead of 'd'
Mistake: "Saying 'volver pronto' to mean 'come back soon'."
Correction: Use 'volved pronto'. In casual speech, some people say 'volver', but 'volved' is the correct form for commands.
⭐ Usage Tips
Regional check
Only use 'volved' if you are in Spain or speaking to a group of friends using 'vosotros'. If you are in Mexico or Argentina, use 'vuelvan' instead.
