This Spanish Medium Review quiz will take a look at using affirmative and negative commands in Spanish. Up until now the quizzes in the Spanish Easy Review series and in the Spanish Medium Review series have dealt with using the positive or affirmative form of a sentence and/or a command (instruction). However, not everything is in the positive.
Answers, questions and commands can be negative. In English we use the words don’t, doesn’t and didn’t to indicate a negative question or statement. These words do not exist in Spanish. Rather, simply using the word 'no' is all that is needed. In Spanish, the word 'no' is placed before the verb. Let’s look at a few examples of affirmative sentences and then negative sentences.
