1 answer

To form the usted form of the imperative for the regular –ar verb "hablar," you follow these steps:

  1. Start with the verb in its infinitive form: hablar.

  2. Remove the -ar ending: This leaves you with the stem "habl-."

  3. Add the appropriate ending for the imperative: For the usted form, you will add "-e" to the stem.

Putting it together, you get:

  • Usted form of the imperative of hablar: Hable

So, "Hable" is the command form you would use to tell someone formally to speak.
