- They use the base form of the verb.
- The subject 'you' is understood.
How to Use Imperatives
We use imperatives for many things! You can use them to give commands, like 'Come here!' They are also great for instructions, such as 'First, mix the flour and sugar.' For advice, try 'Study for your test.' To make requests, often use 'please,' like 'Please help me.'
- Give commands and instructions.
- Offer advice to others.
- Make polite requests using 'please'.
Negative Imperatives
If you want to tell someone NOT to do something, we use 'Don't' or 'Do not' before the base form of the verb. For example, 'Don't run in the classroom.' Another example is 'Don't touch that!' This helps people know what they should avoid.
- Use 'Don't' to make a negative imperative.
- Place 'Don't' before the base verb.
- Examples: 'Don't worry,' 'Don't forget your homework.'
Zanimivosti
- Imperatives can end with a period (.) for gentle commands or an exclamation mark (!) for stronger ones.
- The word 'please' makes a request more polite.
- You always use the base form of the verb, like 'Go' not 'goes'.
