1️⃣ to smell
2️⃣ to feel
3️⃣ to taste

Aller not Être
Before we go into discussing “how are you“, we first have to mention the right verb.
In English, we say “how are you”, but in French they say “how goes it”.
In old English this was more prelevant.
So, before we proceed, just remember the following:
You have to use aller (to go), if you want to ask “how are you” in French.
Comment ça va ?
How are you?
Ça va ?
How are you?

#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!
