The 'You All' Command (Vosotros)
This is the command form used when you are speaking to multiple people informally, like friends or family. This form is standard throughout Spain.
Forming the Command
To create a positive 'vosotros' command for most -AR verbs, you take the infinitive (escuchAR) and change the final 'R' to a 'D' (escuchAD). This is a helpful pattern to memorize!
Confusing Command and Statement
Mistake: “Using 'escucháis' when you mean 'listen!'”
Correction: The statement 'You all listen' is 'Vosotros escucháis'. The command is '¡Escuchad!'. The command form is distinct from the regular present tense.
