Can the よう ending be used for imperatives like て？

If so then can you show some examples?

question

Can the よう ending signify an imperative?
Not exactly. The "～よう" conjugation is applied to 一段 verbs when forming the
casual volitional form. Being the _casual_ form, it doesn't mean "Shall we
(speaker and listener) ..." so much as "We (speaker and listener) will ...".

> 食べよう  
>  "We will eat."
>
> 寝よう  
>  "We will sleep."

The proper imperative conjugation for 一段 verbs is of course "～ろう".
