qroqqa commented on the word entrez
Although imperative and indicative entrez are identical in form, the difference is tentatively established by several verbs that do have different forms, such as soyez ~ êtes. The imperative and indicative are usually the same in the singular too, though written differently: entres ~ entre.
Alternatively, we could treat preposed vous as the affix it in fact is, and say the imperative is unprefixed ɑ~tre whereas the indicative is prefixed vuzɑ~tre.

rolig commented on the word entrez
Even when referring to the imperative, Artoparts was not wrong in what he/she wrote. It is still the 2nd person plural (or formal) form. The imperative mood also has person as a category, including 1st and 3rd persons (though these are usually expressed in English with the verb "let"): "Let's go!" "Let them rejoice!"
