Answer 1

Hi there.

I assume that the last word of each sentence is your answer.
Being that the case:

#11-#22: Very good. I agree with all of your answers.

Thanks for your question and keep up the good work.

Answer 2

To determine the appropriate formal or informal command in each context, we need to pay attention to the relationship between the speaker and the person being addressed. If the speaker is addressing someone in a formal setting or someone they don't have a close relationship with, they should use the formal command. If the speaker is addressing a friend, family member, or someone they have a close relationship with, they can use the informal command.

In the given questions, we can see that there are cues for both formal and informal commands.

Question 11:
Sé que Ud. tiene hambre pero, ¡no _______________!
lo coma

In this context, the speaker is using the formal form of "you" (Ud.) to address someone. Therefore, the appropriate formal command would be "no lo coma."

Question 12:
________________, por favor. Es hora de empezar.
Levántense

In this context, the speaker is using the formal form of "you" (ustedes) to address a group of people. Therefore, the appropriate formal command would be "levantense."

Question 13:
Tienes que esperar un momento. _______________ todavía.
No lo empieces

In this context, the speaker is using the informal form of "you" (tú) to address someone. Therefore, the appropriate informal command would be "no lo empieces."

Question 14:
Necesito los mapas que tienen. ¡_______________!
Dénmelos

In this context, the speaker is using the informal form of "you" (ustedes) to address a group of people. Therefore, the appropriate informal command would be "dénmelos."

Question 15:
Esos cigarros son de Cuba. No debe tocarlos y, por favor, no_____________.
los fume

In this context, the speaker is using the formal form of "you" (Ud.) to address someone. Therefore, the appropriate formal command would be "no los fume."
