We use imperative sentences when we want to tell

someone to do something (most commonly for advice,


suggestions, requests, commands, orders ,invitations or
instructions).
We can use them to tell people to do or not to do things.
They usually don’t have a subject – they are addressed to
the listener or listeners, who the speaker understands to
be the subject.
IMPERATIVES

Affirmative: Use the base form of the verb. For example:


Negative: use Do in negative form + base form of the verb ,For
example:
You can use ‘please’ to be more polite.

Please put the plates on the table!

Don’t make so much noise, please.
