If you did not think Dora the Explorer was truly a “Let’s learn Spanish” kind of show. You’re wrong! If you listen close enough, you can pick up some Nosotros Commands! When Dora sings “Come on vamamos everybody let’s go!” she uses a Nosotros Command. You use this command to tell others that they should do something with you like Dora tells everyone to come with her (let’s go).
There are Two, yes count them, TWO ways you can create a Nosotros Command.
First: You can use the formula Vamos a + an infinitive
“Infinitive? Shoot! I don’t remember what that means!” It’s ok, an infinitive is a verb before it’s conjugated like hacer, vivir, comer, etc.
That first way is SO out of style though, barely anyone uses that. If you REALLY wanted to be cool, you would use the second way we’re about to tell you!
Second: The Nosotros Command is the same thing as the nosotros form of the present subjunctive.
For example, Let’s go to the store.
“Vamamos a la tienda.”
