Porque decimos ''vete''?

Ella B.B2Kwiziq community member

Hola! Gracias por ese punto de gramática. Tenía una pregunta sobre ese tema. Porque decimos ''vete'' (go away!) en lugar de ''vate''? Porque la tercera persona del singular al presente del indicativo es ''él/ella va''. Porque utilizamos el presente del subjuntivo aquí? Gracias :-)

Hola Ella

This is because "ir" is one irregular verb in the imperative (both affirmative and negative) - it has a short form and it doesn't coincides with the 3rd person singular of the present as most verbs do in the imperative affirmative. Here's a lesson on all the irregular verbs in the imperative affirmative, you'll find the form "ve" there.

I hope it helps.

Saludos cordiales
