The Informal Command ('Tú' Imperative)

For most regular verbs, the informal command form (telling 'tú' what to do) is exactly the same as the 'él/ella/usted' present tense form. So, 'aprende' means both 'he/she learns' and 'Learn!'.

Negative Commands are Different

To tell someone not to learn, you must change the form: 'No aprendas' (Don't learn). This uses a special verb form (the subjunctive).

Forgetting the tú command rule

Mistake:Using the infinitive for a command: 'Tú aprender rápido.'

Correction: Use the command form: '¡Aprende rápido!' (Learn quickly!)
