ENGLISH?
Read it for yourselves ?
In a low voice?

Esta bien la traducción?

I guess read it quietly to yourselves is the best option isn´t it?

Yo sé que 'leer' es irregular, pero ¿es común para los verbos irregular terminan con 'd' en la 'command form'?

@Fazor: in this case, the command form (imperativo) is for "vosotros". In Latin American countries it would rather be "lean" for "ustedes". :)

Ah-ha! We never learned the 'vosotros' conjugations in school. Spain uses vosotros fairly commonly, no? But our lesson plan was designed around Mexican Spanish, I believe.

Most of the Spanish speaking countries don't use it, but "vosotros" is a basic pronoun in Spain. :)

Sometimes you can say Leer en voz baja, using the infinitive, many people use it, but I don´t know if it is permitted by the ACADEMY OF the language.

Yo veo. ¿Puedes decir 'Uds. lean'?

Sí se puede, Lean en voz baja, es más formal que leed.
