1

Imperative (tú) of informar

‘Informa’ is the informal singular command of the verb ‘informar’, used to give direct instructions.

2

Preposition ‘de’ after informar

When you inform someone about something, Spanish uses ‘de’ (informar de algo).

Indefinite adjective ‘cualquier’

‘Cualquier’ means ‘any’ and is invariable; it does not change for gender or number.

Common Mistakes

  • Informa a cualquier actividad sospechosa enseguida.

    ‘Informar’ takes ‘de’ when you are reporting about something, not ‘a’.

  • Informa de cualquiera actividad sospechosa enseguida.

    ‘Cualquiera’ is the noun form; the correct adjective before a noun is ‘cualquier’.

  • Informa inmediatamente de cualquier actividad sospechosa.

    While correct, placing ‘inmediatamente’ after the verb can sound stiff; the natural order is at the end or as ‘de inmediato’.

Alternatives

  • Reporta cualquier actividad sospechosa de inmediato.

    Report any suspicious activity right away.

  • Comunica cualquier actividad sospechosa inmediatamente.

    Communicate any suspicious activity immediately.

  • Notifica cualquier actividad sospechosa al instante.

    Notify any suspicious activity instantly.

Cultural Tip

In Spanish‑speaking workplaces, the informal imperative ‘informa’ is perfectly acceptable on signs and manuals, especially when the audience is a team rather than a formal hierarchy. ‘Enseguida’ is a bit more colloquial than ‘inmediatamente’; if you need a very formal tone, replace it with ‘de inmediato’ or ‘inmediatamente’. Regional variations exist—some countries prefer ‘avisar’ or ‘denunciar’ in official contexts.
