There are also fewer possible subjects, since we do not command ourselves to do something, nor can we command in the third person. The imperative mood is used most frequently in second person, addressing tú , usted , or ustedes . The most common of these will be the informal com- mands. This is what we will use in order to give advice and instructions to people with whom we would use tú , such as classmates, friends, family, pets, children, and others who are close to us. In Lengua 4.7, we will look at affirmative commands, leaving the negative commands for Lengua 4.8. Affirmative informal commands for regular verbs use the simple present tense, third person singular ( él , ella , usted ) form of those verbs. For example, hablar → habla Habla con ella. comer → come Come tus verduras. vivir → vive Vive con unos amigos: cuesta menos y puede ser divertido. Using the third person singular form of the present tense means that stem changes and other spelling irregularities are maintained: cerrar → cierra Cierra la puerta, por favor. volver → vuelve Vuelve antes de las seis. pedir → pide Pídele ayuda a tu madre. incluir → incluye Incluye al jefe de producción en la conversación.
