Plural Commands in Spanish Nosotros

---

The plural commands forms in Spanish (Formas de comandos plurales en español) are composed of the pronoun Nosotros. Also see Plural Commands with Vosotros and Commands in Spanish.

In some cases, Nosotros in the present subjunctive will form “let us” or let’s as used in English to urge or invite others to do something. To form the nosotros commands of regular verbs in Spanish, use the yo form of the present tense and drop the -o or -oy of the ending.

Examples:

Let’s go now!
¡Vamos ahora!

Let us speak to the manager now.
Hablemos con la gerente ahora.

Let’s not shop here anymore!
¡No compremos más aquí!
