Imperative:
The forms of the iimperative are the same as the correwsponding forms of the present indicative, except that -er verbs and verbs conjugated like -er verbs drop the final "s" in the familiar imperative. However, when linked to the pronouns "y" and "en", all familiar imperatives retain th e "s."

*The command form can be avoided by using "Voulez-vous (bien) +_ infinitive
*In public notices, road signs and general directions, the infinitive frequently replaces the imperative
