Affirmative commands
When telling someone to do something, you’re giving an affirmative command.
Per esempio…
| Aspettate! | Wait! | |
| Trova tuo fratello. | Find your brother. | |
| Parliamo di qualcos’altro. | Let’s talk about something else. |
Negative commands
Logically enough, telling someone not to do something is a negative command.
Per esempio…
| Non scriva nel suo libro. | Don’t write in your book. | |
| Non gridate! | Don’t shout! |
