From Lesson 160:Irregular informal commands (haz, ve, ven...)·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about Ve al almacén y busca el palé azul.

Why is the word for 'go' ve here instead of vas or va?
Ve is the irregular command (imperative) form of ir (to go) for tú (informal you). When you tell a friend directly to go somewhere, you must use this special short form ve.
Does busca follow a normal rule for commands, unlike ve?
Yes! Busca is a regular command. To tell a friend (tú) to do something, you usually just use the él/ella form of the present tense. Since 'he/she looks for' is busca, the command is also busca.
Why is there no Spanish word for 'for' after busca?
The Spanish verb buscar already means 'to look for' or 'to search for'. You never need to add an extra preposition like para or por after it.
Just to review, why is it al almacén instead of a el almacén?
Al is a mandatory contraction of the preposition a (to) and the masculine article el (the). Whenever a is followed directly by el, they must combine into al to make pronunciation smoother.
