Mostly I've found it easy to use, but in this case, it completely missed out the imperative form of ichidan verbs.

I believe yodan verbs are now usually referred to as godan verbs. Alan-san, what’s the name of the grammar book?

My problem was that my most used (I was going to say favourite) grammar book states that the imperative ending is -e, but failed to mention that this was Yodan verbs only & that Ichidan verbs go to -ro.

Um….you might want to consider chaning grammar books then.

Why? I don't really know. Class 3 (the troublemakers): Both irregular: -する -> しろ -来る -> 来い I *believe* せよ is an older imperative form of する. しろ is much more common nowadays. The imperative forms generally go like this:

Class I (五段） verbs:
-Change the last syllable to it’s corresponding え-column version

-行く ->　行け
-言う -> 言え
-泳ぐ -> 泳げ
-走る -> 走れ
-読む -> 読め
-出す -> 出せ

Class 2 (一段) verbs:
-change the ending る to ろ

-教える -> 教える
-やめる -> やめろ
-答える -> 答えろ
-支える -> 支えろ
-着る -> 着ろ
-起きる -> 起きろ

The exception here is the “giving” くれる which goes to くれ. Why? I don’t really know.

Class 3 (the troublemakers):

Both irregular:
-する -> しろ
-来る -> 来い

I *believe* せよ is an older imperative form of する. しろ is much more common nowadays.
