Hola! Can you check my work and tell me if it's all right?
State whether the command is formal ("Ud.") or informal ("tú").
1. Come la sopa.
Formal.
2. Hable más despacio.
Informal.
3. No compres más ropa.
Informal.
4. Beba m�s agua.
Formal.
5. No vengas tarde.
Informal.
Give both the affirmative and the negative "tú" commands for each of the following verbs:
6. poner
Pon / No pongas
7. decir
Dí / No digas
8. hacer
Haz / No hagas
9. venir
Ven / No vengas
10. ir
Vé / No vayas
I'll send your post to our Spanish expert. Please keep checking back and have patience until she responds.
With regular formal commands, be sure to use "the opposite vowel" for the formal command. hablar = hable / comer = coma / escribir = escriba
1. You are looking at the tú or informal command, because the formal command is Coma
2. You are now looking at the formal command because the tú or informal command looks just like the 3rd person Present Tense = habla
7. In old textbooks it was dí but because it is only one syllable and can not be confused with anything else, nowadays there is no accent mark on di
10. Also with ve = no longer an accent mark although it could be confused with 3rd person singular of ver = ve

I'll flag this one as well so I can come back in case you have further questions.
To determine whether the commands are formal or informal, you need to look at the pronouns used. In Spanish, the formal command form uses "Ud." (Usted), while the informal command form uses "tú". Let's go through each sentence to check if your answers are correct:
1. Come la sopa. - You correctly identified this as a formal command, using "Ud." (Usted). Well done!
2. Hable más despacio. - You labeled this as informal, but it is actually a formal command. The correct answer is "Ud." (Usted).
3. No compres más ropa. - You correctly identified this as an informal command, using "tú". Good job!
4. Beba m�s agua. - You labeled this as informal, but it is actually a formal command. The correct answer is "Ud." (Usted).
5. No vengas tarde. - You correctly identified this as an informal command, using "tú". Well done!
Moving on to the next part of your work:
