In the affirmative imperative, pronouns are after the verb which is in the imperative. The verb and the pronoun are connected by a hyphen.
A l’impératif affirmatif, les pronoms sont après le verbe qui est à l’impératif. Le verbe et le pronom sont reliés par un trait d’union.

32
For verbs in "-er" with "tu," we keep the "s" if the pronoun which follows the verb is "en" or "y." Ex: eat some, work on it, play it
Pour les verbes en –er avec tu, on garde le s si le pronom qui suit le verbe est en ou y. Ex: manges-en, travailles-y, joues-en
33
In the negative imperative, the negation is placed before the verb and the pronoun.
À l’impératif négatif, la négation se place avant le verbe et le pronom.

Mange-les // Ne les mange pas

There are two forms of (lit. in) the verb "vouloir" in the imperative. Instead, we use the form "veuill-" in polite expressions (lit. formulas), especially in writing.
Il y a deux formes au verbe vouloir à l’impératif. On utilise plutôt la forme en veuill- dans les formules de politesse, surtout à l’écrit.
