Comer (to eat) in the commands: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

IWhat to watch for

Comer builds its imperative the regular way: the affirmative tú command copies the él form of the present (come), and the rest come from the subjunctive — no comas, coma, comamos, coman. The subjunctive flips the vowel, so -er verbs end in -a where -ar verbs end in -e.

That flip is the trap: come is the tú command, but coma is the usted one, and the negative tú form is no comas. Table talk is full of these commands — come despacio, no comas con las manos, coman antes de que se enfríe.
