Esperar forms regular commands: espera for tú, and the subjunctive for the rest — no esperes, espere, esperemos, esperen. ¡Espera! on its own is the everyday «hang on!».

You meet the forms in queues and offices (espere aquí, esperen su turno), on planes (esperen a que el avión se detenga) and in advice (no esperes milagros). On this page every answer is the plain form.
