Here's a short review of informal and formal.
The affirmative informal familiar command, (tú) if it is regular, is EXACTLY like the 3rd person singular. hablar = habla / comer = come / recibir = recibe. If it is irregular that form is short: venir = ven / salir = sal / hacer = haz / poner = pon / tener = ten (for examples)
The negative informal familiar command is like the Subjunctive (or opposite vowel): hablar = no hables / comer = no comas / recibir = no recibas
All formal commands (Ud./Uds.) either singular or plural use the Subjunctive, or "the opposite vowel": hablar = hable / no hable / comer = coma / no coma / redibir = reciba / no reciba
Many irregular formal commands are based on the "yo form of the Present Indicative: tener = tenga / no tenga / salir = salga / no salga (for just 2 examples)
Now look again, and it would be easier to refer to these if they had numbers.
l perfect
2. wrong = this is the negative familiar (tú) command. The way you identify the tú verb is the "s" marker.
3. wrong = this is the formal command, using the opposite vowel of an -er verb
4. correct
Feel free to ask any question you may still have.

Answer: Informal
To determine whether a command is formal ("Ud.") or informal ("tú"), you need to look at the form of the verb used in the command. In Spanish, the formal commands (also known as the "usted" commands) are formed by using the third-person singular form of the verb. On the other hand, the informal commands (also known as the "tú" commands) are formed using the second-person singular form of the verb.
Let's analyze each command:
1. "Come la sopa." - The verb "come" is the second-person singular form of the verb "comer." Therefore, the command is informal ("tú").
2. "Hable más despacio." - The verb "hable" is the third-person singular form of the verb "hablar." Therefore, the command is formal ("Ud.").
3. "No compres más ropa." - The verb "compres" is the second-person singular form of the verb "comprar." Therefore, the command is informal ("tú").
4. "Beba más agua." - The verb "beba" is the third-person singular form of the verb "beber." Therefore, the command is formal ("Ud.").
5. "No vengas tarde." - The verb "vengas" is the second-person singular form of the verb "venir." Therefore, the command is informal ("tú").
