Irregular informal commands (haz, ve, ven...)

Fast-paced commands: ven, ve, pon, ten

When giving quick instructions to a singular tú (informal "you"), some common Spanish verbs have irregular, single-syllable affirmative commands.

Here are the first four:

Use ten with nouns like cuidado (care) to tell people to be careful.

Finishing the list: haz, sal, di, sé

There are four more irregular short commands:

When using an object pronoun (like me) with an affirmative command, attach it directly to the end of the verb to form a single word. For example, di + me becomes dime (tell me).

Attaching pronouns: ponlo and dímelo

You will frequently attach direct object pronouns like lo (it) to these short commands, creating words like ponlo (put it).

If you attach two pronouns at once, such as an indirect object (me) and a direct object (lo), add an accent mark to the command's original vowel to preserve the correct spoken stress (for example, dímelo).
