To use the 'ihr' form of the imperative of weak and strong verbs, just remove the pronoun 'ihr'.
To use the formal 'Sie' form of the imperative, swap the position of the verb and subject pronoun 'Sie'.
'Sein' is irregular in the 'du' and 'Sie' forms of the imperative. Use 'sei', 'seid' and 'Seien Sie'.
