Sea bueno.

Solución paso a paso

"Sea bueno" is the correct formal command form of "be good" in Spanish. "Sés bueno" and "Seas bueno" are incorrect conjugations, and "Ser bueno" is the infinitive form, not a command.

 

Supplemental Knowledge

Spanish uses an imperative mood when giving commands or requests; its form varies according to who it's directed at and whether its response should be affirmative or negative.

  • Tú (informal singular): For informal commands directed at someone you know well.
    • Affirmative: Use the third person singular form of the present indicative (e.g., "Sé bueno" for "Be good").
    • Negative: Use the second person singular form of the present subjunctive (e.g., "No seas malo" for "Don't be bad").
  • Usted (formal singular): For formal commands or when addressing someone with respect.
    • Affirmative and negative: Use the third person singular form of the present subjunctive (e.g., "Sea bueno" for "Be good").

 

Life in Context 

Imagine you're a teacher speaking directly to one student: If it were informal conversation between yourself and them, "Se ve bien." However, in formal circumstances or to parents and others you might say instead: "Sea bueno."
Understanding these subtleties is critical in many social interactions, ensuring you convey respect and familiarity appropriately.
