I've just completed the Michel Thomas Spanish Foundation course, and it seems to me he has made a mistake in
his teaching of the imperative. He gives the second person singular (tu) form of -ar verbs as -es: so for hablar, eg, it would be hables. But the grammar book I have consulted (Uso de la gramatica espanola) gives "habla". Did Thomas really get this wrong? Or is it an alternative form? I'd be grateful for advice! Many thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What was the complete sentence?
The negative form would indeed be "no hables" (don't speak) for second person singular. Positive imperative would be "habla", though. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful |
