The commands are regular: pregunta (tú), pregunte (usted), preguntemos (nosotros), pregunten (ustedes). Negative commands use the subjunctive: no preguntes. Attached pronouns add an accent: pregúntale, pregúntenle. Pregúntale a... is one of the most useful phrases at work when you redirect someone to the right person. With usted, the same idea becomes Pregúntele a la recepcionista. Signs and forms often use the ustedes form, as in Pregunten en caja, Ask at the register.
