Notable characteristics of commands

2. Stem-changing -ir verbs show the following changes in nosotros commands:
O>ue verbs now u.....Durmamos
E>ie now I.....mintamos. Let's lie
E>I still i ......pidamos
3. Verbs ending in -car, - gar, and -zar make necessary standard orthographic changes. Toquemos el piano, paguemos la cuenta, comencemos.
Thats it

4. With reflexive verbs, drop the -s of the conjugated verb before adding -nos. Otherwise, add all object pronoun directly to the end of the verb.
