The Informal Command Rule
For regular verbs, the affirmative command for 'tú' (informal you) is exactly the same as the 'él/ella/usted' present tense form. So, 'escribe' means both 'he/she writes' AND 'write!'.
Using the Command Too Formally
Mistake: “Using '¡Escribe, Señor!' to address someone respectfully.”
Correction: For formal commands, you must use 'escriba' ('¡Escriba, Señor!'). Use 'escribe' only for friends, family, or children.
