    Grammar
    Imperative
    An imperative is a command or order. It can also
    be used to give instructions, advice or a warning.

    Some examples include the following:

    •Walk to the corner.


    •Sit down please.
    •Don’t lose your key.
    1. Positive Imperative
    To form a positive imperative we use the base form of the verb.
    The base form is the form in the dictionary.

    Some imperative verbs:


    read, listen, put, run, walk, move, eat..
    .
    Listen!
    Raise your hands.
    Do your homework.
    Speak English.
    Come here.
    Be quiet.
    2. Negative Imperatives
    To form a negative imperative we use:
    Do not + the base form of the verb
    Examples: Do not come here.
    Do not put your hat on the chair.
    Do not drink it.
    Do not park your car here.
    NOTE: The contraction for do not is don’t.
    Do not come here. = Don’t come here.
    Do not speak Spanish in the class. = Don’t speak Spanish in the class.
    Do not sit there. = Don’t sit there.
