I don't understand the affirmative mandates part.

tu amigo no sabe llegar a la escuela desde tu casa. dale direcciones completas usando mandatos afirmativos familiares

it says your friend doesnt know how to get to school from your house. Give full addresses using mandates affirmative relatives

Thanks for trying but my question was not "what does this say". I don't understand the affirmative mandates part

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Other terminology for what you are doing are: the affirmative familiar command OR the affirmative tú command.

The directions would be: (you have to make up directions on how to get to school from his house) sal de tu casa y ve derecho a la calle Santiago; dobla a la derecha y ve derecho a la calle Parque, doble a la izquierda y ve dos cuadras y la escuela está a la derecha.

(Leave your house and go straight to Santiago street; turn to the right and go straight to Park street, turn to the left and go 2 blocks and the school is to the right.

You can make up any directions!

I'm gonna go with what McGin said. Just put the verbs into the command form: Turn right, Walk 3 blocks, etc,... instead of "you will turn", "you have to turn", or "you have to walk." lol this kind of sounds a little over explanatory

To provide your friend with directions using affirmative familiar commands, you need to give them a series of directions in an informal and positive manner. Here's how you can do it step by step:

1. Identify the starting point and the destination: In this case, the starting point is your house, and the destination is the school.

2. Break down the directions into simple steps: Divide the directions into clear and manageable steps, making it easier for your friend to follow. For example:

- Sal de casa (Leave the house)
- Gira a la derecha (Turn right)
- Camina recto por dos cuadras (Walk straight for two blocks)
- Cruza la calle (Cross the street)
- Sigue caminando hasta que veas la escuela (Keep walking until you see the school)

3. Convert each step into an affirmative familiar command by addressing your friend directly. For example:

- Sal de casa (Leave the house) becomes Sal de casa tú (You leave the house)
- Gira a la derecha (Turn right) becomes Gira a la derecha tú (You turn right)
- Camina recto por dos cuadras (Walk straight for two blocks) becomes Camina recto por dos cuadras tú (You walk straight for two blocks)
- Cruza la calle (Cross the street) becomes Cruza la calle tú (You cross the street)
- Sigue caminando hasta que veas la escuela (Keep walking until you see the school) becomes Sigue caminando hasta que veas la escuela tú (You keep walking until you see the school)

By using these affirmative familiar commands, you will be giving your friend clear and concise directions on how to get from your house to the school. Remember to adjust the commands based on the specific turns and distances required for the journey.
