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...

yes thank you for saying this!!! i wasn't sure if there was a misunderstanding on my part!!
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.

I have become a fan of your Spanish accent...!!!
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.
¡Demasiado! Nunca me acordaré. Por qué el español no es más fácil 😢 Subjuntivo, imperativo... . ¡Soy demasiado viejo para esto!
Where is the table link ?
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. ???
Ese estaba buen explicacion de verbo imperativo. Poco rapido para mi entonce necesité para cambiar velocidad muy lento
Hello, unfortunatelly I'm stuck and I don't understand how to build this. It's a lot of endings and rules...is some easy tip how to remember it?
How about other subjects such as Yo Ello/la Ellos / las

Shouldn’t the imperative for -er/ir verb conjugate to -a?

4:40 Great catch, but you're both half correct. ER verbs ends in A, and IR verbs end in E. 😆

@@JivanNavij the imperative for IR (usted) is still A. There's just a mistake. I wonder if they could fix it and repost the video. It's very confusing!
is therw no negative for usted, ustedes, and nosotros?

There is, but it doesn't change. So "Work!" in the "usted" form is "Trabaje!", and "Don't work!" is "No Trabaje!"
in the last example why did the le turn into se?
@marijamiljak7420
10 сағат бұрын
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

How come "let's go" is vamos and not vemos if AR verbs become -emos whem imperative? Is it because the infinitive is ir and it loves being irregular 😂
