Questions: 2

You've already seen how to make affirmative commands using L'Impératif in French (See Conjugate regular verbs in L'Impératif (imperative))

Now look at these negative commands:

Ne mange pas ça!
Don't eat that!

N'écoutez pas! 
Don't listen!

Ne faisons pas ça!
Let's not do that!

Note that to make a command negative, put ne or n' before the verb in L'Impératif and pas after it.
