Yes, the last pair are plural commands. and in the familiar plural would be "idos". "váyase" and "vete" would be the singular commands.

:

Váyante a casa. Go home (familiar) - my example

This last one is wrong: the imperative is "ve", not "vaya".

ve (tú) - vete (tú)
vaya (usted) - váyase (usted)

Id (vosotros) - Idos (vosotros)
vayan (ustedes) - váyanse (ustedes)

Remember that the what your book call imperative formal, uses the conjugation of the present subjunctive.

Note that "ir" is the only verb that doesn't drop the "d" in what you call the imperative familiar 2nd person plural.

Ok, I understand. Thank you. The section on commands in this book came before the subjunctive section. Probably part of the problem. Also, I think I need to work only on either formal or familiar commands till I have it all mastered then work on the other group. Do you think that's wise? Doing them both together is very confusing for me.

I don't know how your book is organized, but you'll need to learn the 2nd person (singular and plural) of the proper imperative forms (what the book calls familiar), and the present subjunctive forms for all the rest.
