Imperative

Creating sentences in imperative is very easy:

Form

bare infinitive + the rest of the sentence + ! (optional)

Examples:

• Be a good boy!

Negative Sentences

• Don't say such horrible things!

When To Use?

We use imperative when we want to order someone to do something:

• Stop being such a mother's boy!
• Come back and fight with me!
• Buy me a Coke.

We can also use it to invite someone to do something:

• Help yourself to the biscuit.
• Come and play with us.

In order to make the command more polite, use do or could at the beginning of the sentence:

• Could you turn down the music?
• Do sit down.
