1. Start with the present tense conjugation of the verb "tú pones" (you put).
2. Drop the final "s" to obtain "pon" (put).
3. Add an accent mark on the second-to-last syllable of the resulting verb form if necessary to maintain the original stress. In this case, since "pon" is already stressed on the first syllable, you don't need to add an accent mark.

2. Remove the final "s" to obtain "ponga" (put).
3. Add "no" before the resulting verb form to make it negative.
Therefore, the negative "tú" command for "poner" is "no pongas" (don't put).
