SPAN 3051 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Trae Tha Truth, Double Negative, Infinitive
Document Summary
When tomar means to drink, it usually refers to alcohol. In mexico, tomar can be intransitive, as beber is almost never used. In spain, tomar is always transitive, such as tomar una copa - to have a drink and tomar un caf - to have a coffee: commands / imperative. The other imperative conjugations (for usted, ustedes, and nosotros) use the present subjunctive forms. (more about the subjunctive at #70. ) Use the nosotros form to mean let"s + infinitive. Negative commands use no + the present subjunctive conjugations for all forms, except vos may either be identical to the t form or add an accent to the vowel. The only forms that differ between affirmative and negative commands are t , vos and vosotros. Verbs that end in -car, -gar and -zar have the following changes as well: c becomes qu, g becomes gu, and z becomes c. t vos.
