Answer 5

Hello there!
If I may join, I'd say this question is actually a bit tricky... :)

The problem is imperative as such can't be used with all persons... More precisely, it's used:

-- only with 2nd person (i.e. *tu* and *vosotros*)
-- only with familiar forms (so not with *usted* or *ustedes*)

So, when we give a command to the rest of persons, we use the subjunctive.

(To make it easier, just remember *usted* [actually a 2nd person singular] is conjugated as *el/ella*, and *ustedes* [actually a 2nd person plural] is conjugated as *ellos/ellas*.)


Example:

COMMANDS forms for CANTAR [= "to sing"]: IMPERATIVE and SUBJUNCTIVE are used

(tu) -- cant- a
(el/ ella/ usted) -- cant- E
(nosotros/ nosotras) -- cant- emos
(vosotros/ vosotras) -- cant- ad
(ellos/ ellas/ ustedes) -- cant- EN


===
So, @chrissy2430 , as shown above, the *ustedes* command of *pagar* (which is an infinitive ending in -AR verb, like *cantar*) is formed with an -EN ending.


Hope this makes this subject clearer! :)
Blessings

P.S.: Sorry I'm not including accents, which I can't do from my computer.
