The imperative is formed by taking the form of the present of the indicative, and removing the pronoun "tu", "vous" or "nous" ("you" singular, "you" plural or "we")
Present:
Tu viens - Vous venez - Nous venons ---> Viens ! Venez ! Venons !
Tu donnes - Vous donnez - Nous donnons ---> Donne ! Donnez ! Donnons !
Tu prends - Vous prenez - Nous prenons ---> Prends ! Prenez ! Prenons !
Difficulty: for first group verbs (the 'er' verbs), take out the final 's' of the 'tu' form.
I.e.: present 'Tu aimes' > imperative 'Aime !'
Same rule for the following verbs : ouvrir, offrir, souffrir, cueillir, aller et savoir.
Except if it is followed by the pronoun or adverb 'en' or 'y', for spelling reasons, you add the "s" for the "tu" form.
Example :
Va te coucher ! (Go to bed!) but Vas-y ! (Go!)
Cueille des fleurs ! (Pick some flowers!) but Cueilles-en ! (Pick some!)
Precision: Some verbs have specific forms for the imperative, such as:
Assoir - Tu t'assoies ---> Assieds-toi !
Both forms exist for the present but the usage is to use the "Tu t'assoies" form for the present and "Assieds-toi" for the imperative.
Tu t'assieds is used when the order is implied (a kind of informal imperative) : Tu t'assieds et tu te tais ! (You sit down and you shut up!).
