commands or to offer directions, hints, and suggestions.
With command forms, you do not use subject pronouns.

Form the tu command of -er verbs by dropping the -s
from the present tense form. Note that aller also follows
this pattern.
The nous and vous command forms of -er verbs are the
same as the present tense forms.
