Why is it Allez when it is followed by the tu form of the verb? Why isn’t it Va?

Hi Tanya,

Allez, is often used as 'come on' just for emphasis.

Allez, je te paye un verre = Ok, I'll buy you a drink

Allez, vas-y != Come on, go ahead !

Allez, dépêchons-nous! = Come on, let's hurry !

Allez, au revoir! = OK then, bye-bye!
