You are here: Experts > Homework Help > Spanish Language > Spanish Language > Informal commands--ir or irse?
Expert: Laurel L.
Date: 5/14/2008
Subject: Informal commands--ir or irse?
Question
I'm unsure of the difference between ir (ve) and irse (vete) when doing informal commands. Also, on that same note, when do you include the pronoun at the end of an affirmate tu command? Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks!
Answer
"Ir" (ve) means "to go", so the command form is telling someone to go somewhere. "Irse" (vete) means to leave, so the command is telling someone to leave or get out.
Pronouns (me, te, le, se, nos, os, les, lo, la, los, or las) always go at the end of affirmative commands (where you're telling someone what they should do). They only go before negative commands (where you're telling someone what not to do).
