The Imperative and Pronouns

The Imperative and Pronouns

None of my many text books and courses fully indicate the whole range of structures to employ with the imperative in the informal. The easiest way to explain the omissions is to list what I know and then let you add what is missing - does that make sense? Let's see!

CONTAR
cuéntamelo; no melo cuentes - contádmelo; no melo contéis
cuéntanolo; no nolocuentes - contádnolo; no nolo contéis

Formal
cuéntemelo; no melo cuente - cuéntenmelo; no melo cuenten
cuéntenolo; no nolo cuenten

Actually I pretty well worked the above out in my head, but I would be grateful if someone could carefully check it out and correct any discrepancies

CONTAR

Imperativo

Imperativo a mi favor (A Mí) + me

Imperativo a su favor (A TÍ ) +se

Imperativo a nuestro favor ( A NOSOTROS) + nos

etc.... lo he hecho deprisa, puede haber errores :D :D

The same form for "ellos" can be used for "ustedes", too. :)

Good table, Sosia. :)

¡Sí - tienes razón, está muy bien! Muchísimas gracias - muy amable, Sosia.
