How do you form negative imperatives?
In the affirmative imperative form both the indicative and subjunctive moods are used
(e.g. habla, hablad - indicative)
(e.g. hable, hablen - subjunctive)
When telling someone not to do something in Spanish the subjunctive mood is always used
Hablar
tú no hables
usted no hable
vosostros no habléis
ustedes no hablen
Comer
tú no comas
usted no coma
vosostros no comáis
ustedes no coman
Abrir
tú no abras
usted no abra
vosotros no abráis
ustedes no abran
