#Verb
In French, L'Impératif has three main characteristics:
1️⃣ There are only 3 persons in L'Impératif: tu, nous, vous since you only issue commands to 'you' or 'us/we'.
2️⃣ Like in English, the subject pronoun is dropped in L'Impératif.
3️⃣ The verb is at the same form as in Le Présent for tu, nous and vous:
➖Tu finis ta soupe. Finis ta soupe!
You're finishing your soup. Finish your soup.
❗️ATTENTION: We note that for verbs whose ending is “es” (verbs of the first group whose infinitive ends in -ER) in the second person “tu” the “s” disappears.
➖Tu manges ton dessert. Mange ton dessert!
You're eating your dessert. Eat your dessert!
