no ponas la mesa.
no miras esta película.
no hables tanto.
no corras en la nieve.
no digas eso.

correct

Explanation:

Response

To solve this, we analyze each sentence based on the negative imperative (tú form) in Spanish. The correct structure for negative commands (tú) is No + present subjunctive of the verb. The present subjunctive of regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs (tú form) is:

  • -ar verbs: stem + es (e.g., poner → pongas? Wait, no—wait, poner (tú subjunctive) is pongas? Wait, no, correction: For tú negative commands, the subjunctive form:
  • poner (tú subjunctive): pongas? No, wait, no—wait, the correct negative command (tú) for poner is No pongas la mesa. Wait, the given sentence is No ponas—that’s incorrect. Wait, let's re-express:
Step 1: Analyze each sentence
  1. No ponas la mesa: Incorrect. Correct: No pongas la mesa (subjunctive of poner, tú: pongas).
  2. No miras esta película: Incorrect. Correct negative command (tú) for mirar: No mires esta película (subjunctive: mires).
  3. No hables tanto: Correct. Hablar (tú subjunctive): hables (matches No + hables).
  4. No corras en la nieve: Correct. Correr (tú subjunctive): corras (matches No + corras).
  5. No digas eso: Correct. Decir (tú subjunctive): digas (matches No + digas).
  6. No lees este libro: Incorrect. Correct negative command (tú) for leer: No leas este libro (subjunctive: leas).
