Thread: Which command

It is not true. Command forms may be:
"Води (машину) аккуратно" (Drive carefully).
"Ты поведешь" (You will drive).
But "водить машину" is like "to rule car", "to control car" (derived from "to lead [walking procession]" as "to control movement of someone/something"). You cannot say "Control car to my house". That's it. You must say "приезжай (на машине) к моему дому".
