years: it doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s something that deserves your
full, undivided attention.
IMPERATIVE MOOD
Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warning or
instructions, and (if you use "please") to make a request.
Don’t waste time, you only have 25 minutes to complete the activity.
To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without "to"

To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" before the verb.
• Don´t take long breaks between the pomodoros.
