# Command and Imperative Practice Generator

Drill formal and informal commands across French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Russian, flagging irregularities a regular conjugation pattern won't predict.

Category: Language

## Prompt template

```
The imperative is the one verb form built almost entirely out of exceptions. French drops the final -s from -er verb commands, mange, not manges, except it puts that same -s right back when the pronoun en or y follows, manges-en. Italian's negative tu command doesn't conjugate at all, it borrows the plain infinitive, non parlare, because the regular conjugated form would collapse into a statement instead of a command. A learner who assumes the imperative just follows the regular present tense pattern gets it wrong constantly, since almost none of these languages let it.

Language is [LANGUAGE:select:French,Italian,German,Portuguese,Russian].

Formality is [FORMALITY:select:Informal singular,Informal plural,Formal,Mixed across formality levels].

Polarity is [POLARITY:select:Affirmative only,Negative only,Both affirmative and negative].

I need [ITEM_COUNT:number:10-30] commands.

Build each command in [LANGUAGE] at the requested [FORMALITY] and [POLARITY], flagging clearly wherever the form breaks from the regular present tense pattern rather than treating every command as regular. Cover the language's specific imperative irregularities directly: French's -s drop and its en/y exception, Italian's negative tu command borrowing the infinitive instead of conjugating, German's du-form dropping its usual -st ending and often the final -e, Portuguese's split between tu and você command forms, and Russian's imperative built from the third person plural stem rather than the infinitive.

If pronouns are involved, place them correctly for [LANGUAGE], attached to the end of an affirmative command or positioned before a negative one, whichever the language actually does, since pronoun placement shifts specifically around commands even in languages where it stays fixed everywhere else. Close by naming the one irregularity in this set most likely to get forgotten under pressure, since real commands get given in real time with no chance to look up the rule first.
