This document discusses imperative sentences, which give advice, instructions, requests or commands. Imperatives are used with the second person "you" singular or plural, or first person plural "we/us". Affirmative imperatives for a single person use the base verb form, while for plural subjects they begin with "let's" followed by the base verb and object. Negative imperatives for a single person use "do not" plus the base verb, and for plural subjects use "let's not" followed by the base verb.
