¡Hola! If you find yourself in Spain and plan on bossing around multiple people, you might want to use the vosotros commands. In this lesson, we’ll be talking about the vosotros commands.
Keep in mind that the ustedes commands are another way to order more than one person around.
¡Hola! So if you wanted to order around a group of people you’re with (including yourself), you would need nosotros commands. If you’re not sure what that would sound like in English, it would be like saying, “Let’s [do something]!”
¡Hola! If you’ve wanted to boss around multiple people in Spanish, then the ustedes commands are the commands for you. Notice that in Latin America, this will be the standard way to boss around more than one person.
In Spain, you might come across the vosotros commands more often, while ustedes commands could still be used.
So we’ve been talking about tú commands: the affirmative commands & the negative commands, and something we’ll have to think about also is what to do with those pesky pronouns: direct object pronouns (me, te, lo, la, nos, *os, los, las), indirect object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, *os, les), and reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, *os, se).

Hola. In this lesson, we’ll be talking about verbs that go through a change in the middle. We call them stem-changing verbs. In this video, we discuss one type, those that change from e-i. If you remember the verb decir, the other verbs in this video change in a similar way.
Here’s another lesson about a verb that changes a little strangely in the present tense. It’s a common verb though so we should probably go over it. The verb is decir and it means “to say” or “to tell.”
Enjoy!
