Buenos días. Por favor, tome asiento.

Gracias. Me duele la garganta desde ayer.

De acuerdo. Abra la boca y diga 'aaa'.

Aaa.

No se mueva... Respire hondo, por favor.

¿Así?

Sí. Trague, por favor.

Ya.

La garganta está un poco inflamada. Tome este jarabe dos veces al día.

Evite el frío y descanse. Si empeora, vuelva a la consulta.

Comprehension check:

¿Qué orden usa el médico para pedir que el paciente respire profundamente?
Elija la opción correcta.
Respire hondo
Respira hondo
Respiren hondo
Respirad hondo
The correct polite imperative form (usted) is "Respire hondo". The forms "Respira" (tú), "Respirad" (vosotros) and "Respiren" (ustedes) do not match the "usted" situation.
Think about which form is used with usted.
Complete la instrucción del médico: "____ la boca".
Complete la frase.
Abra
Abre
Abrid
Abran
We need the imperative form for usted: "Abra (la boca)". "Abre" is tú, "Abrid" is vosotros, and "Abran" is ustedes.
The polite form is not the tú form.
¿Qué acción prohíbe el médico durante el examen?
Según el audio.
Moverse
Tragar
Sentarse
In the phrase "No se mueva" the doctor forbids moving. "Trague" and "Tome asiento" are not prohibitions but requests/commands to perform an action.
Listen for the word "No" + a verb in the usted form.
