A Note About Imperative Forms of Llover

As llover is an impersonal verb that describes weather phenomena, it does not have imperative forms. We cannot command or request it to rain or not to rain! The verb is only used in the third person singular, as rain is a natural process that happens independently of human will.

Instead of using imperative forms, Spanish speakers might express wishes about rain using the subjunctive mood, for example:

Ojalá que llueva (I hope it rains)
Espero que no llueva (I hope it doesn’t rain)
Que llueva pronto (May it rain soon)
