值得注意的点
The tu form's 's' with -er verbs
In the imperative form, the only difference in conjugation to the indicative present tense is that the final 's' of the tu form with -er verbs is dropped. This 's' is readded if the conjugation is hypenated with an y or an en. In the following example, the 's' is removed:
-moi plus lentement !
And, in the next example, the 's' is readded to keep the flow of speech:
