The imperative is much easier to form in English than in Spanish.  We simply use the infinitive without "to".

Go!  Sit!  Come in!  (exclamation points not necessary).  It is used to give formal and informal commands alike.  The only difference is the lst person plural suggestion:  let's go, let's sit down, let's watch it together  = "opposite vowel" form in Spanish (vengo>venga>vengamos; hablo>hable>hablemos.

 

Need more help?  Let us know.
