Sentence info.

“No te preocupes” is a Spanish phrase that translates to “Do not worry” or “Don’t worry” in English. The sentence is formed using the reflexive verb preocuparse, which means “to worry.” To convey the command “do not worry,” the verb is conjugated in the negative imperative form for the second person singular (tú).

Here’s how the sentence is formed:

1. Start with the reflexive verb preocuparse in its infinitive form: preocuparse.
2. Identify the subject you’re addressing (tú, usted, vosotros, ustedes, or nosotros).
3. For the tú form, remove the se ending and conjugate the verb into the imperative form: preocupa.
4. Since it is a negative command, add “no” before the verb: no preocupa.
5. Reattach the reflexive pronoun te to match the tú subject to make it reflexive: no te preocupes.

Tips to remember:

– Remember that negative commands in Spanish are formed by placing “no” before the verb.
– “Te” is the reflexive pronoun that corresponds to tú.
– Drop the -arse, -erse, or -irse ending and add the tú imperative form onto “no te” to form the negative tú command for reflexive verbs.

Alternate ways to say “Do not worry” in Spanish include:

1. Tranquilo/a (if addressing a male/female) – Stay calm.
2. No hay problema – No problem.
3. No pasa nada – It’s nothing/Don’t worry about it.
4. Descuida – Don’t worry (informal).
5. Estate tranquilo/a – Be calm (if addressing a male/female).
