Why is it " Allez, lève-toi! " ? (Vous or tu?)

I am confused by this sample imperative sentence.

Shouldn't it be Va, lève-toi!

Test scoresI've been trying to reach a "confidence" level of 90% at C1 level. I got to 89.9%, took 2 further C1 tests and got 100% on each, but my level slipped back to 89.6%. How's that?

differnce between -ant and -er/-ir/-re

Hi,

since using the -ant and the infinitive both mean -ing in english, what's the difference between them and when would you use one and not the other?

passé composé vs imparfait

https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/passe-compose-vs-imparfait/

I found this posting below on Lawless French and I am still confused because they sound contradictory.

It says that Imparfait describes an ongoing state yet entirely in the past and Passé Composé indicates a change still continues today.

When you say J’aimais l’école, does it mean that you liked it but not anymore or that you still like it?

Imparfait means that something was true for an uncertain period of time but no longer valid?

Passé Composé is for something that has become true and is still valid?
