Vas te coucher

Question

I had "Vas te coucher" as my translation of "Go to bed".  It is listed in the example as a correct translation.  Can you tell me why it was marked as incorrect please.

Hi Deborah, 
Just to add to Chris' answer, 'aller'  is mentioned in the following Kwiziq lesson -

under -
Attention:  case of -er verbs

Answer

You have a typo. It is va te coucher (not vas...). Aller is a strange verb in the imperative. You'd think it would be vas, but it really is va.The way I remember this is that regular -er verbs, such as manger, pleurer, tomber, don't have the -s in the imperative. Since the infinitive of aller looks like it would be a regular verb, it also loses the -s in the imperative.I don't remember that is mentioned in any lesson, although I could be wrong. It would be nice, if it were, though.
