I'll send this to our Spanish expert. Please check back.
How can you translate Listen! to a Spanish phrase beginning with "No"?
You are still guessing!
Are these right now?
My answers:
1.) E
2.) D
3.) C
4.) B
5.) A
1. is E
2. is D
3. to a stranger you must use the formal, Ud. command = no escuche (no "s" because that is the tú or familiar command)
4. now you DO want the negative tú or amiliar command = no escuches
5. is A
I'll flag this and come back later to see if you still have questions.

To determine if your answers are correct, we need to understand the rules of conjugation for the verb "escuchar" (to listen) in Spanish.
In Spanish, the verb form used depends on the subject of the sentence. Let's break it down:
1.) Listen! (friend)
To address a friend using the informal tú (you) form, you should use the imperative form "escucha" - this is the correct answer. So, your answer of B. is correct.
2.) Listen! (you guys)
When talking to a group of people using the informal vosotros (you all) form, the imperative form is "escuchad". Therefore, the correct answer is "Escuchad". Your answer of D. is incorrect.
3.) Don't listen! (stranger)
To express a negative command with the formal usted (you) form, you should use "no escuche". So, your answer of C. is correct.
4.) Don't listen! (friend)
To express a negative command with the informal tú (you) form, you should use "no escuches". So, your answer of E. is correct.
5.) Don't listen! (you guys)
To express a negative command with the informal vosotros (you all) form, you should use "no escuchéis". Therefore, the correct answer is "No escuchéis". Your answer of A. is incorrect.
Therefore, your answers for questions 1, 3, and 4 are correct, but your answers for questions 2 and 5 are incorrect. The correct answers are:
2.) Escuchad
5.) No escuchéis
I hope this explanation helps you understand the correct forms better! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
