You might be looking at and wondering: Why don't we just use the imperative tense like we did for "tú"?
Instructions: Change the infinitive to an Usted command.
Critical rule from p. 382: Pronouns attach to commands. Pronouns go before negative commands.
To maintain the original sound of the verb, certain endings change their spelling: Verbs ending in : c →right arrow qu (Ex: Sacar →right arrow ¡Sa qu e!) Verbs ending in -gar : g →right arrow gu (Ex: Llegar →right arrow ¡Lle gu e!) Verbs ending in -zar : z →right arrow c (Ex: Empezar →right arrow ¡Empe c e!) Where do the Pronouns Go? This is usually the "trick" part of the page 382 exercises.
It sounds like you’re looking for a write-up that explains (formal commands in Spanish) in the context of a textbook or worksheet—likely from a resource like Realidades or Avancemos , where page 382 is a common reference. Since I can’t see the exact answer key, I’ll provide a conceptual answer key and explanation that you can match to your specific exercise.
