Commands in the Nosotros Form (Without Pronouns)
In the nosotros form, commands take on the understanding of "Let's..." To formulate the nosotros command, you will use the opposite vowel suffix. If you are unsure what the opposite vowel suffix is, then you should probably review that concept before proceeding with this one.
For the simple, regular -ar verbs, the opposite vowel is "e". We will need to change the nosotros suffix to -emos. Note the following examples, with the opposite vowel underlined and implemented:
Hablemos. Let's talk.
Llamemos a mamá. Let's call Mom.
Manejemos al centro. Let's drive downtown.
For -er/-ir verbs, the opposite vowel suffix is going to be just the opposite, -amos. Note these following examples with the opposite vowel "a" underlined as well:
Entendamos exactamente lo que dice la profesora. Let's understand exactly what the professor is saying.
How, then, do we negate, or make negative, a nosotros command? Easy. We put no in front of the command! Check out the following:
No manejemos al centro. Let's not drive downtown.
No entendamos la tarea. Let's not understand the homework.
