= = = LOS MANDATOS AFIRMATIVOS: AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS  =

Commands are used to direct specific people to your authority, otherwise, telling someone what to do. In this section, we'll be exploring informal commands using the pronoun tú. You would use these types of commands with people you are familiar with or people around the same age as you. For example:
 * "Buy the bread."
 * "Clean your room"
 * "Do the work"

To form most commands in Spanish, only a simple process is needed:
 * 1) Take the infinite form of your verb
 * 2) Conjugate into the tú form
 * 3) Drop the 's'

Simple, right? Here's some examples of commands in use:
 * Come tus vegetales antes del postre.
 * Eat your vegetables before dessert.
 * Escribe tu carta.
 * Write your letter.
 * Cuenta tus beneficios.
 * Count your blessings.
