In imperative, is it still sois if the rule is no ‘s’ at the end of tu’?

[obsidian gate]

That rule only applies to regular verbs in the first group (the verbs whose infinitive form ends in -er)

[regal crypt]

Basically any -er conjugation type verbs (some -ir verbs are included bc they're conjugated like -er iirc)

Yea

[naive lake]

ohhh okay, merci! J’ai comprend

[regal crypt]

Like offrir => offre (not offres)

But -re verbs always keep their s to my knowledge

[naive lake]

And savoir?

[regal crypt]

Worth remembering that it's also very much not just regular -er, aller counts as well

[regal crypt]

Savoir is among the true irregulars of the imperative (and its conjugation has -er endings so it follows the s rule)

https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/imperative-mood-conjugations/

This should help

So basically the s gets removed in 100% of -ER verbs regardless of ending, 0% of -RE verbs, and whatever -IR verbs have -ER endings

(and it gets added back before « -en » or « -y » )

[naive lake]

OHHH OKAY I got confused with the -IR verbs

You’re a lifesaver
