Verbs ending in -er in the imperative

For first group verbs (ending in -er), remove the final -s in the second person singular. Aller (to go) follows the same rule.
manger en
(tu) mange
(nous) mangeons
(vous) mangez
écouter en
(tu) écoute
(nous) écoutons
(vous) écoutez
aller en
(tu) va
(nous) allons
(vous) allez
Note: When using the pronouns en or y with the imperative in the second person, keep the final -s to make a liaison.
Parle moins fort ! → Parles-en à Victor ! Speak less loudly! → Speak to Victor about it!
Pense à mon argent ! → Penses-y ! Think about my money → Think about it!
