What this grammar point covers
The 'imperativo afirmativo irregular frecuente' in Spanish is the positive command form for some common verbs that do not follow the regular pattern. You use this form to tell someone to do something.
When to use it
Use these forms when you want to give direct instructions, advice, or orders to one person you know well (tú). For example, telling someone to come, go, do something, etc.
Key forms
- Ven (venir)
- Di (decir)
- Sal (salir)
- Haz (hacer)
- Ten (tener)
- Ve (ir)
- Pon (poner)
- Sé (ser)
Examples
Haz tu tarea.
English: Do your homework.
Pon la mesa.
English: Set the table.
Sé amable.
English: Be kind.

Tips
- These irregular forms are only for 'tú' (informal you) in positive commands.
- Do not add -s at the end, even though 'tú' forms often have it.
- Practice these forms, as they are very common in everyday Spanish.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Some verbs change completely in the imperative, not just a letter or ending.
- The negative commands use different forms (no vengas, no digas, etc.).
