Subjunctive Use

When 'entren' is used after verbs of wishing or commanding (like 'querer' or 'pedir'), it is the special verb form used for 'they' or 'you all (formal)'.

Formal Command

'¡Entren!' is the polite, formal way to tell a group of people ('ustedes') to come in. It is used just like a direct order.

Confusing Command Forms
