Hola. Here’s a lesson to help you with affirmative tú commands. We use these when we want to tell someone we are comfortable with to do something. The formula in this video will be useful for most verbs in Spanish. There are some that are irregular though, which we’ll talk about in the next video.

In the city that I live in in India, there’s absolutely NO ONE who is qualified to teach me Spanish. Your videos are the only reason I know any Spanish. It’s amazing that you put in so much of an effort to make them interesting for your students. I don’t know how many thousands of people have already thanked you, but I am definitely one of them! THANK YOU!
