imperative  By  :                                             Wafa Mohammed Ali Al Kammash                 Supervisor  :                                      Dr .Shadia   Banjer                                 LANE 334
                imperativeAre verbs used to give orders , commands, warning or instruction ,and ( if you use “ please “) to make a   request .                                                                    It is one of the three moods of an English verb ( indicative  and subjunctive )For example    :                                    Give me that tape , please .
To make the imperative , use the infinitive of the verb without (to ) .For example :                                                                   Come here .                                                                 Close the door.
To make a negative imperative , put ( do not ) before the verb .                                                                                   For example :                                                                   Do not go .
You can use the imperative to warn someone of danger.For example   :Look out  !
when you give advice using the imperative  .               For example :                                                                    Do not eat heavy meals .
You can also use the imperative to make a request ,but you should use a polite word before the verb :          For example : Please take a seat .
The imperative sentence does not require a subject ; the pronoun ( you ) is implied .                                             For example  :                                                                Close the door !                                                               Beat the eggs lightly .
S                                                Vp                                               V                                             Np                       [transe]                                                                   Det           N                 Close                                 the            door           P                                                    do
The term imperative therefore refers to the structure of the sentence rather than its function in conversation.
Thank   you
