🔹 Rules for Affirmative Tú Commands:

In Spanish, the affirmative tú command is formed by using the present tense "yo" form of the verb, but with some changes:

- For -ar verbs: drop the -o and add -a
- e.g., *estudiar* → *estudia*
- For -er verbs: drop the -o and add -e
- e.g., *leer* → *lee*
- For -ir verbs: drop the -o and add -e
- e.g., *vivir* → *vive*

> Note: Some verbs have irregular forms (like *ser*, *ir*, *estar*), but none in this list are irregular.
