To form the command "don't stop" in Spanish, you would use the negative imperative form. In this case, the translation "no detengas" is correct. Here's how you can break it down:
1. Start with the infinitive form of the verb "to stop": "detener".
2. To form the affirmative tu command, you would typically remove the -er ending and add an -e ending for -ar verbs, or an -a ending for -er and -ir verbs. But in this case, since it is a negative command, we will use the subjunctive mood.
3. The subjunctive form of "detener" in the second person singular (tu) is "detengas".
4. Finally, to make it negative, simply add "no" before the verb. So, "no detengas" translates to "don't stop" in Spanish.
Remember that when giving commands in Spanish, it is common to use the subjunctive mood, especially in negative commands.
