<\/p>\nImperative sentences (imperative clauses) are types of sentences used to give requests, instructions, guidance, suggestions, or warnings that require immediate action. Imperative sentences typically end with a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!) depending on the context and tone of delivery.<\/p>\n
Essentially, imperative sentences are commands asking someone to perform an action. \"Someone\" doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be a person. For example, when you give commands to virtual assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant, you\u2019re using imperative sentences. Similarly, when you tell your dog to \"sit,\" \"stay,\" or \"run,\" you\u2019re speaking in imperative sentences.<\/p>\n
Below are some examples of imperative sentences:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Remember to clean the garbage today.<\/p>\n
\u2022 ell me if I should go to Japan or Korea for my summer vacation.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Leave the book on the table.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Direct imperatives come in many forms and can be used depending on the context: affirmative imperatives, negative imperatives, or interrogative imperatives. Imperatives are often used with the word \"please\" to convey politeness, issuing requests that are not too forceful.<\/p>\n
Imperative sentences or requests typically do not specify a subject as they are commands or requests aimed directly at someone or something. The subject is implied by the listener(s) in the conversation (one or multiple people).<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Put your phone away.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Join me in the study.<\/p>\n
Imperative sentences with a specific subject are commands or requests that clearly identify the subject.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ron! Go back to school.<\/p>\n
\u2022 John from class 8B, go to the principal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Negative imperative sentences are requests or commands instructing the listener not to do something. Similar to affirmative examples, negative forms can also be used with imperatives, with or without a specified subject.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do not smoking!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Never judge someone before knowing their story.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Harry! Stop making that noise.<\/p>\n
Negative imperatives, or interrogative requests, are sentences used to make polite requests or ask questions to avoid pressuring the listener. Common modal verbs like can, could, may, would, will are often used.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Could you join me in the study?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Can you show me how to write the essay?<\/p>\n
In communication, imperative sentences can be used with the word 'please' to convey politeness. 'Please' can be placed at the beginning, within, or at the end of the sentence. For example:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Please check the exam!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Would you help me carry these books, please?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Would you please take off your shoes?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Reported commands are sentences that indirectly request, ask, tell, or order someone to do something. There are two types of reported commands: affirmative and negative.<\/p>\n
Structure for affirmative reported commands, requesting someone to do something:<\/p>\n
Formula: S + ask\/order\/tell + O + to + V
\nExamples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 My father told me to clean my room.<\/p>\n
Structure for negative reported commands, asking someone not to do something:<\/p>\n
Formula: S + ask\/order\/tell + O + not + to + V
\nExamples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 I told you not to play with him.<\/p>\n
Most of the examples above are simple sentences with only one clause, but don't think that all commands are this short. A command can have multiple clauses, and in many cases, these clauses form conditional sentences.<\/p>\n
A conditional sentence shows the cause and effect of something (to ensure, express possibility, or even impossibility). Let\u2019s look at some examples of conditional commands below:<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you miss the bus, call a Grab.<\/p>\n
\u2022 When you hear your name, raise your hand.<\/p>\n
Most commands begin with imperative verbs. Common imperative verbs in English include: let, do, follow, go, walk, stop, run, understand, spoil... Imperative verbs are in their base form, and when followed by objects in their structure, they form commands.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Follow me!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Go back to school.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Walk on the right side of the pathway.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Let her go.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do not smoking.<\/p>\n
As you can see, verbs typically come first in commands. However, this is not always the case.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure you understand why we do this exercise.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Please don\u2019t spoil the movie.<\/p>\n
In certain contexts, the verb alone can form a complete command:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Stop!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Run!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
