This document summarizes the rules for forming formal commands (affirmative and negative) in Spanish. It explains that formal commands start with the yo form of the verb and drop the -o, then add opposite personal endings. It provides examples of regular verb conjugations and irregular verbs like ir, ser, saber, estar, and dar. It also notes spelling changes for verbs ending in -car, -gar, and -zar and stem-changing verbs like dormir and morir.
