How to use continuar in the affirmative commands
The tú command is continúa; the others come from the subjunctive: continúe (usted), continuemos (nosotros), continúen (ustedes). Continúe is typical in directions and automated systems (Continúe recto, Continúe con el pago), and continuemos is the natural way to resume a meeting. Negative commands use the subjunctive: no continúes así. With pronouns, the accent stays: continúalo mañana.
Examples
Continúa así; vas muy bien.
Keep it up; you're doing great.
Continuemos con el orden del día.
Let's continue with the agenda.
Continúen leyendo hasta la página veinte.
