-car, -gar, -zar verbs

When we make negative commands from a verb that ends in -car, -gar, or -zar, we make some spelling changes to keep the original sound.

-car
For verbs that end in -car, the c changes to qu , then we add the opposite ending, which will ALWAYS be -es since these are -ar verbs!

-gar
For verbs that end in -gar, the g changes to -gu .

-zar
For verbs that end in -zar, the z changes to a c .

Remember these rules only apply to negative commands
