When telling someone what to do or giving an instruction, you need to use the imperative. This is a special form of the verb
for giving orders. The examples above are all in the polite form (usted), which is the one you are most likely to use. Verbs
that normally take an a ending in the 3rd person singular take and e, and verbs that take an e ending change to a.

Siguetodo recto he/shes going straight on sigatodo recto! go straight on!
