1. THE
IMPERATIVES
By Alessandro.g

2. ¿WHAT ARE THE
IMPERATIVES?
The imperative is used to give commands and orders. The form
of the verb used for the imperative is the base form of the
main verb, which is used without a subject.…

3. Afirmative form:
● In affirmative sentences, the infinitive form of the verb is used and this can be accompanied by a
complement. It is important to note that the subject is not present because it is understood that it is
you.
Structure:
• Base form of verb + object
Examples:
• Call the police!
• Look!
• Wash your hands!
• Tell me the truth!
Negative form:
• En las oraciones negativas, utilizamos la forma don't or (auxiliar do + not) seguido del verbo en infinitivo.
Examples
• Don't play inside the house!
• Do not talk.
• Do not lie to me!
