Learn Spanish (Latin America): No abandonen el recorrido guiado.

For formal plural commands (ustedes), Spanish swaps the typical vowel of the verb ending. Since abandonar is an -ar verb, its command form takes an -e ending. For plural ustedes, we add the -n, making it abandonen.

If this were an affirmative command ('Abandon the tour!'), would the verb form change?

No, it would still be abandonen. For formal usted and ustedes commands, the affirmative and negative forms are exactly the same. You just put No in front for the negative. This is a nice break from informal tú commands, which have different forms for positive and negative!

What exactly is a recorrido compared to a viaje?

While a viaje is a general trip or journey, a recorrido specifically refers to a route, circuit, or tour that follows a set path. It comes from the verb recorrer (to travel through or go over). It is the standard word for a guided walk or museum tour.

Why does guiado come after recorrido?
