Using imperatives
1. We use imperatives to:
• Give commands (usually to children or animals, parent to child, teacher to
student, or boss to employee)
➢ Sit up straight.
➢ Do your homework.
➢ Don't run in the hall.
➢ Be at the meeting
tomorrow morning.
• Make requests
➢ Pass the salt, please.
➢ Please cut the bread.
➢ Buy some vegetables.
• Give instructions
➢ Print your name. Then
sign the application.
➢ Turn right at the light.
➢ Stir the egg with a fork.
• Give warnings about possible danger
➢ Watch out! There's a
car coming towards you.
➢ Be careful. The
driveway is icy.
• Give advice
➢ Call the doctor. ➢ Take a rest.
Forming imperatives
2. We form imperatives with the base form of the verb, without a subject.
Call me tomorrow.
We use please to make imperatives more polite. Please can come at the beginning or
end of an imperative sentence. Use a comma (,) before please, if you use it at the end
of a sentence.
Please give me the cheese. Pass the milk, please.

1st- person plural imperative: let’s
1st-person singular imperative: let me
3rd-person imperative: let him/her
3. Negative imperatives
We can use don't or do not before the verb to make an imperative negative, but we
usually use don't.
Don't open the window or you'll catch a cold.
Do not go in that room!
In written English, we use an exclamation mark (!) to make the imperative stronger.
4. Let
English doesn’t have a first-person imperative (used to suggest that ‘I’ or ‘We’
should do something) or a third-person imperative (for other people, not the
hearer). These ideas are often expressed by a structure with let.
➢ Let me see. Do I need to go shopping today?
➢ Let him wait.
➢ Let’s go home.
