What form is torna here?

Torna is the informal singular imperative of tornar.

So the sentence is telling one person to do something:

• (tu) torna = come back / go back / turn back

Catalan often leaves out the subject pronoun, so tu is understood but not said.

Why is there no word for you in the sentence?

Catalan normally omits subject pronouns when the verb form already makes the subject clear.

So instead of saying Tu torna enrere, Catalan usually just says:

• Torna enrere.

The verb ending tells you it is addressed to you in the informal singular.
