Questions & Answers about Escribe tu nombre completo, por favor.

Why is it escribe and not escribes?
Escribe is a command telling someone to do something. For the informal "you" (tú), affirmative commands are usually formed by dropping the final "-s" from the normal present tense form (escribes).
Why doesn't tu have an accent mark in this sentence?
Without an accent mark, tu means "your" (as in "your name"). When it has an accent mark (tú), it means the person "you". Since this sentence uses the possessive "your name", it doesn't need the accent.
Why does completo come after nombre?
In Spanish, adjectives that describe or categorize something usually come after the noun. Since completo (full or complete) describes the noun nombre (name), it is placed right after it.
How would this sentence change if I were speaking formally to a stranger?
To be formal (usted), you would use the formal command escriba and the formal possessive word su instead of tu. The sentence would become: Escriba su nombre completo, por favor.
