    OOPS! There's a big mistake at 4:40! The ending for er/ir usted is A --> beba. I guess I'll ask my students to see if they spot the error...

    Good video. For me, the most frustrating part of learning Spanish are the back and forth changes of the verb endings of this mood.

    I almost had a crisis, until I realized that the teacher is actually wrong. The Usted form of beber is BEBA... I can't believe you haven't pulled this video or put a disclaimer. It really undermines your training program.

    From what I can see, the negative tú imperative is the same as the tú form of the present subjunctive of the verb except that it is preceded by a negative word instead of by “que.” Affirmative and negative usted and ustedes are the same as their present subjunctive forms no matter what. I think the idea of those is based on the facts that subjunctive does not generally mean reality and sometimes saying that you ask someone to do something is more polite than the exact imperative is. Usted and ustedes are the more formal terms that mean “you” as singular and plural respectively. When telling someone not to do something in any case, that means you’re telling someone not to make or to stop making the action a reality.

    Nice presentation except for two mistakes. People below caught the Beba error. But isn't the chart at 7:10 in error? I think plural Indirect object pronouns are nos, les and les. and the plural direct object pronouns are nos, los/las and los/las. ???

    because in spanish there can never be LE and LO together. Like for example compralelo… doesn’t exist. the LE has to change to SE. Other example would be like “ ask him “, by logic it would be preguntalelo, but because it doesn’t exist, it will change to pregúntaselo
