For verbs ending in **-ea** (Conjugation 2) and **-e** (Conjugation 3), forming the singular command (imperative) usually depends on whether the verb takes a direct object:

- **Transitive verbs** (actions done *to* an object, like pulling or stopping something) use the **present tense "he/she" (el / ea)** form. This is the same rule you learned for most other verbs.
- **Intransitive verbs** (actions that do not take a direct object, like going or staying) use the **present tense "you" (tu)** form.
- **Irregular verbs** like **a face** (to do) and **a avea** (to have) have short, unique command forms.

| Infinitive | Verb Type | Command (tu) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| a stinge (-e) | Transitive | **Stinge!** | Put out / Turn off! |
| a trage (-e) | Transitive | **Trage!** | Pull! |
| a merge (-e) | Intransitive | **Mergi!** | Go! |
| a tăcea (-ea) | Intransitive | **Taci!** | Be quiet! |
| a rămâne (-e) | Intransitive | **Rămâi!** | Stay! |
| a face (-e) | Irregular | **Fă!** | Do! |
| a avea (-ea) | Irregular | **Ai!** | Have! |

### Fast Action and Warnings

### Being Careful

The irregular command **Ai!** is almost always used in the set phrase **Ai grijă!** (Be careful! / Take care!). Notice how it pairs with other commands to ensure safety:
