Can someone check my answers to this? I'm really confused on these practice problems. Thanks!
Directions: Using informal, formal, plural and nosotros commands (use Dop's/Iop's if needed) to correctly
answer the questions. The names in parathenisis are what form the sentences is in.
1.) Don't come! (friend)
My answer: No vengas!
2.) Let's study the book! (Form sentence using the correct pronoun/s)
My answer: Vamos a estudiar el libro!
3.) Write! (teacher)
My answer: Escribe!
4.) Walk the dog for me! (For the sentence using the correct pronoun/s to plural people)
My answer: Pasear al perro para mí!
5.) Eat! (friend)
My answer: Coma!

I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
Are you and Debbie in the same class? I corrected these for her on Friday!
#1. correct
#2. Yes, unless you are in Spanish III and have studied the REAL let us or let's command, using the Subjunctive. In that case, it would be "estudiemos el libro" = estudiémoslo.
#3. This needs to be the formal, or Ud., command. Since escribir is an -ir infinitive, the theme vowel is now "a" = Escriba
#4 Pasear is the infinitive, NOT the command. the plural, or Uds. command is "Paseen el perro para mí. the first "e" in Pase is from the stem and the second "e" (en) is in the ending, so although it may look strange to you with double "e" it is correct. I would not use the "personal a" unless it is MY dog! = Paseen el perro para mí OR Paseénme el perro or Paseémelo.
I'm not sure from the directions that you are to change the direct object/indirect object nouns, etc. or not.
#5 Eat to a friend is the tú or familiar command, usually looking like the 3rd person singular, if the verb is regular. Come = in this case.
I'll flag this and come back later to see if you still have questions.

Thank you so much for your help! I have one last question:
Form the command using the correct pronoun/s to a friend: Don't make a salad for me!
Form the command using the correct pronoun/s to a friend: Don't make a salad for me!
No me hagas una ensalada (para mí).
You can add "para mí" for emphasis but the "me" in front of "hagas" makes it clear.
IF you are to replace "una ensalada" which is the direct-object noun, the sentence would be = No me la hagas.
