This document discusses two patterns of expressing commands: verbal commands and nominal commands. Verbal commands place the bare infinitive verb at the beginning of the sentence, such as "Stand up!" or "Close the door!". Nominal commands place "BE" at the beginning and use a non-verb complement, like "Be careful!" or "Be on time!". The document provides examples of each pattern and two dialogues demonstrating commands being used in conversations.
