IMPERATIVE
Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warning or instructions. You can also make a request but you should add a polite words “please”. It’s one of three moods of an English verb.
To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without “to”
For example : Come here!
To make a negative imperative, put “do not” or “don’t” before the verb :
For example :
- Don’t go away!
- Do not wall on the grass!
You can also use “let’s” before the verb if you are including yourself in the imperative. The negative of “let’s” is “let’s not”.
For example :
- Let’s stop now!
- Let’s not tell her about it!
These are some imperative expressions.
- Sit down now!
- Don’t cross!
- Don’t smoke!
- Please open the window!
- Stand up. Please!
- Etc.
Notes : in an imperative sentence doesn’t require a subject ; the pronoun “you” is implied
