It would be nice if someone could help me with this. This is what I'm working on: Command form(imperative mood) negative familiar/polite
I have to change the affirmative commands to negative form:
Hágalos en la clase---------
Llévalo a tu casa----------
Escríbale la carta ahora-------
Tráigame esa revista vieja--------
Pónganlos sobre la mesa--------
Quítese la chaqueta-------
Ciérrelas antes de salir--------
Pónganselos ahora-------
Espérenme despues de la clase-----

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You are asking us to DO the work. You do the work first and then we HELP.
Here is how to make a negative command.
for tú (familiar, singular) = the "yo"
stem with the "opposite vowel + s." poner = no pongas / comer = no comas
for Ud. is the "yo" form as the stem plus the opposite vowel. poner = no ponga / comer = no coma
for Uds. is the "yo" form as the stem plus the opposite vowel + n. poner = no pongan / comer = no coman
If the verb is reflexive or there are any object pronouns (direct or indirect or both) in the negative command, they follow the no but precede the verb.
Now, YOU try first and then we'll HELP.

To change affirmative commands to negative commands in the familiar/polite form, you need to follow these steps:
1. Remove the pronoun "tú" or "usted" and the verb ending "-lo", "-la", "-los", or "-las" from the affirmative command.
2. Add the word "no" before the verb.
3. Add the pronoun "tú" or "usted" at the end of the negative command.
Let's go through each example and apply these steps:
1. Hágalos en la clase
- Remove "los" and "haga" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "hacer".
- Add "tú" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No lo hagas en la clase.
2. Llévalo a tu casa
- Remove "lo" and "llévalo" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "llevar".
- Add "tú" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No lo lleves a tu casa.
3. Escríbele la carta ahora
- Remove "le" and "escríbele" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "escribir".
- Add "tú" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No escribas la carta ahora.
4. Tráigame esa revista vieja
- Remove "me" and "tráigame" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "traer".
- Add "usted" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No traiga esa revista vieja.
5. Pónganlos sobre la mesa
- Remove "los" and "pónganlos" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "poner".
- Add "ustedes" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No pongan eso sobre la mesa.
6. Quítese la chaqueta
- Remove "se" and "quítese" from the affirmative command.
- Add "no" before the verb "quitar".
- Add "usted" at the end.
- The negative command becomes: No quite la chaqueta.
Continue this process for each example, and you will be able to convert the affirmative commands to negative commands in the familiar/polite form.
