Spanish worksheet for practicing negative informal commands (mandatos negativos informales) with fill-in-the-blank exercises.

To solve this worksheet, we need to form negative informal commands (mandatos negativos informales) in Spanish. These are used when telling a friend, sibling, or child *not* to do something.

How to form them:

1. Start with the yo form of the present tense verb.
2. Drop the -o.
3. Add the opposite ending:
- For -ar verbs → add -es
- For -er/-ir verbs → add -as
4. Put “No” before the verb.
5. If it’s a reflexive verb (has “self” next to it), keep the reflexive pronoun (te) attached to the end of the verb — but since it’s negative, the pronoun goes *before* the verb? Wait — NO! In negative commands, reflexive pronouns go before the verb, not attached.

Actually, let me correct that for clarity:

✔ For negative informal commands:
- Reflexive pronouns go before the verb:
→ *¡No te levantes!* (Don’t get up!)
- Non-reflexive: just “No + verb”

But wait — looking at the worksheet, all blanks start with “¡No _______ ...”, so we’re filling in the verb part only. And for reflexive verbs, the pronoun is already implied or should be included in the blank? Let’s check item #7: “To get up (self)” → “¡No ______________ a las seis de la mañana!”

The full command would be: ¡No te levantes a las seis de la mañana!

So the blank should include “te levantes” — meaning we must include the reflexive pronoun te in the answer for reflexive verbs.

Let’s go step by step for each one.

---

We’ll list the infinitive, find the yo form, drop -o, change ending, and add “te” if reflexive.

1. To speak → hablar → yo hablo → hables → ¡No hables inglés!
2. To drink → beber → yo bebo → bebas → ¡No bebas leche!
3. To open → abrir → yo abro → abras → ¡No abras tu libro!
4. To close → cerrar → yo cierro → cierres → ¡No cierres la ventana!
5. To share → compartir → yo comparto → compartas → ¡No compartas tu comida!
6. To ask for → pedir → yo pido → pidas → ¡No pidas la orden!
7. To get up (self) → levantarse → yo me levanto → te levantes → ¡No te levantes a las seis...!
8. To fall asleep (self) → dormirse → yo me duermo → te duermas → ¡No te duermas en el sofá!
9. To climb/board → subirse → yo me subo → te subas → ¡No te subas en el autobús!
10. To lay down (self) → acostarse → yo me acuesto → te acuestes → ¡No te acuestes a las seis...!
11. To wake up (self) → despertarse → yo me despierto → te despiertes → ¡No te despiertes temprano!
12. To have fun (self) → divertirse → yo me divierto → te diviertas → ¡No te diviertas en Disney Land!
13. To say goodbye (self) → despedirse → yo me despido → te despidas → ¡No te despidas de tu abuelita!
14. To get dressed (self) → vestirse → yo me visto → te vistas → ¡No te vistas pronto!
15. To brush (self) → cepillarse → yo me cepillo → te cepilles → ¡No te cepilles los dientes...!
16. To wash (self) → lavarse → yo me lavo → te laves → ¡No te laves las manos!
17. To prepare (self) → prepararse → yo me preparo → te prepares → ¡No te prepares para los exámenes!
18. To stay (self) → quedarse → yo me quedo → te quedes → ¡No te quedes en tu casa!
19. To shower (self) → ducharse → yo me ducho → te duches → ¡No te duches en el gimnasio!
20. To undress (self) → desnudarse → yo me desnudo → te desnudes → ¡No te desnudes mi perrito! ← Wait, that doesn’t make sense. “Undress my puppy”? That can’t be right. Maybe it’s a typo? Or maybe it’s “desnudarte” — but still, “mi perrito” suggests object. Hmm. Perhaps it’s meant to be “don’t undress in front of my puppy”? But grammatically, we follow the pattern. We’ll write “te desnudes” anyway.
21. To sit (self) → sentarse → yo me siento → te sientes → ¡No te sientes en mi cama!
22. To die (self) → morirse → yo me muero → te mueras → ¡No te mueras de tanta risa!
23. To clean (self) → limpiarse → yo me limpio → te limpies → ¡No te limpies los pies!
24. To feel (self) → sentirse → yo me siento → te sientas → ¡No te sientas mal!
25. To look at (self) → mirarse → yo me miro → te mires → ¡No te mires en el espejo!

Wait — for #20: “To undress (self) ... mi perrito!” — that seems odd. Maybe it’s supposed to be “don’t undress my puppy”? But then it wouldn’t be reflexive. The label says “(self)”, so it’s reflexive. Perhaps it’s a mistake in the worksheet. But we’ll go with the grammar: reflexive verb → use “te”.

Also, note: some verbs like “pedir”, “dormir”, “vestir”, etc., are stem-changing. We handled those correctly by using the yo form first.

Double-checking a few:

- Pedir → yo pido → pidas ✔
- Dormir → yo duermo → duermas ✔
- Vestir → yo visto → vistas ✔
- Morir → yo muero → mueras ✔

All good.
