Lisa,
the attached link is included in the lesson you refer to.
It covers the conjugation of regular verbs in the imperative form, with specific notes on the verb form with ‘ tu ‘ and -er verbs.
Why ? - as with many grammar rules, it is just the way it is. ( There are often historical or linguistic reasons, that may or may not be or have been ‘logical’, even at their origin. )
