Verb as the first word in a sentence
If I have a sentence that starts with a verb, do I need to add a 's' to the verb?
Example:
'Registers a new user.' or 'Register a new user."
'Selects a person from the list.' or 'Select a person from the list.'
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You wouldn't probably need "s", since most of time you will directly ask a person, who is you, to do something. If you are talking to a third person singular, "s" might be possible, but that never happens, right?

Register a new user.
Select a person from the list.
Only these two are correct as stand-alone sentences.
It is the imperative form.
The implied subject is "you."
