Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that in this exercise they are asking you to use the so-called "imperativo," which is a mood that is used to give, in a very direct way, a command (mandato) or to make a request or a plea. Because of the nature of this mood, it does not have tenses, and there are only four forms: tú (or vos), usted, nosotros, and ustedes (or vosotros). For regular verbs ending in -ar, you form the imperative by adding the following endings: -a, -e, -emos, -en (in affirmative). For regular verbs ending in -er and -ir, you form the imperative by adding the following endings: -as, -a, -amos, -an.
