IMPERATIVES

WORKSHEETS, ACTIVITIE S & GA ME S Introduction to Imperatives

About imperatives
Imperatives tell people what to do and what not to do. Instructions are often in imperatives.
If they are used at the wrong time, imperatives can sound too direct or rude.
Imperatives do not have a subject in them. The subject is the person that the speaker says
the sentence to.
Verbs in imperatives are in their base form. This means that they have no -s, -ed, or -ing
form. For am, are, and is, the base verb is be.
Negative imperatives have don't or do not before the verb.
Imperatives can also have words or phrases such as always, never, please, first, after that,
and remember to in them.
Here are some examples of imperatives:
Close the door.
Please close the door.
Don't close the door.
Always close the door after you leave.

A. Write I (for imperative) next to the sentences that contain imperatives.

........ 1. Stir the milk and egg into the cake mixture.

........ 2. You need to follow the instructions exactly.

........ 3. I want you to always look both ways before you cross the road.

........ 4. Be careful with that box. It's very heavy.
