When is the 's' in the tu form verb dropped in l'imperatif?

I never get this right. Please, is there a summary of when we would not write the "s" at the end of the tu form verb in l'imperatif ?

Thank you!

Here is the corresponding lesson: https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/revision/grammar/conjugate-regular-verbs-in-l-imperatif-imperative

In short, you drop the "s" of the second person in verbs like manger, parler, etc., i.e., the regular -er verbs.
