Hints for this Quiz
Think: tú imperative ≈ él/ella form in the Present (para, gira, frena...).
The affirmative imperative for tú with regular verbs often coincides with the 3rd person singular of the Present Indicative: girar → gira. The other forms here are: Indicative (giras), usted (gire) and vosotros (girad).
Remember the difference: tú → para; usted → pare.
For tú: para. The form pare is for usted (a formal polite command). The infinitive and the indicative (parar, paras) are not used as a direct command here.
Apply the basic tú‑imperative rule again.
The tú imperative of regular verbs = 3rd person singular of the Present: frenar → frena. The other options are: Indicative (frenas), usted (frene), vosotros (frenad).
The tú‑imperative rule works the same way here.
Same pattern: acelerar → acelera (tú imperative). The other forms are not correct as a command for tú.
Memorize the list of irregular tú imperatives: ven, di, sal, haz, ten, ve, pon, sé.
The verb poner is irregular in the tú imperative: pon. Pone = él/ella; pones = tú (indicative); ponga = usted (subjunctive/formal imperative). By the way, in the affirmative imperative, pronouns are written attached after the verb: dímelo, siéntate.
tú imperative: same form as él/ella (para). Usted → pare.
The correct command for tú is Para. Pare is for usted; Parar is the infinitive; the spelling Pára with an accent is incorrect. For the rules on tú imperative forms, see A2‑level grammar.
