To negate the command "Dépêche-toi!" and other commands containing reflexive verbs, you would use "Ne te dépêche pas!" as the negation. Here's how you can break it down and understand why:
1. Identify the reflexive verb: In this case, the reflexive verb is "se dépêcher" (to hurry).
2. Find the reflexive pronoun: The reflexive pronoun used with "se dépêcher" is "te" (yourself).
3. Add "ne" before the reflexive pronoun: In negative commands, you typically add "ne" before the reflexive pronoun. In this case, it becomes "Ne te".
4. Add the appropriate negation word: To negate the command, you add "pas" after the reflexive pronoun. So, it becomes "Ne te dépêche pas!"
Remember that with reflexive verbs, you need to use the appropriate reflexive pronoun and include it in the negation. In this case, "te" refers to "yourself," so the negation becomes "Ne te dépêche pas!"
