How to use caber in the affirmative commands
Caber is almost never used in the imperative, since you cannot really order something to fit. The forms exist (cabe, quepa, quepamos, quepan), but in practice you will see them as subjunctive in phrases like que no quepa duda. If you need to tell someone to make room, use other verbs: Hazte a un lado or Muévete un poco. Treat this page as reference rather than practice material.
Examples
Que no quepa ninguna duda sobre nuestro compromiso.
Let there be no doubt about our commitment.
Quepan como quepan, todos tienen que subir al autobús.
However they fit, everyone has to get on the bus.
Quepa o no quepa, lo intentamos.
Whether it fits or not, we'll try.
