 * 2) Remove the ending "o" and replace it with the subjunctive "tú" form
 * 3) Add a "no" before the conjegated verb


 * **Verb Ending** || **Conjegation** ||
 * -ar || -es ||
 * -er -ir || -as ||

__Step by step__
Negative commands are used when telling someone NOT to do something. There are four steps to making a negative command:
 * 1) Conjugate the verb in the yo form (Ex: Hablar --> Hablo)
 * 2) Drop the “o” off the end (Hablo --> Habl)
 * 3) Add on the tú form ending (Habl --> Hablas)
 * 4) And finally, change the ending to the opposite ending. So if your verb has the as ending, change it to es. If it’s es, change it to as. (Hablas --> Hables)

__Irregulars__
There are four irregular verbs when it comes to negative commands, and there is an easy way to remember them. Just remember **DIES**, which is what you want to do when forced to conjugate irregular negative commands.
 * D **ar (no des)
 * I **r (no vayas)
 * E **star (no estés)
 * S **er (no seas)

**__Pronouns__**
When adding a pronoun, it will go between the no and the command //(Ex: Don’t buy it -->// // No lo compres) //
