Imperatives
Imperatives are commands or instructions that tell someone to do something. They are often used in everyday language to give direct orders, make requests, or offer advice. For example, phrases like "Close the door" or "Please sit down" are imperatives. They usually begin with the base form of a verb and do not require a subject, as the subject is understood to be "you."
In English, imperatives can be softened with polite words like "please" or made negative by adding "don't" or "do not." They are commonly found in recipes, manuals, and everyday conversations. Understanding imperatives helps improve communication and clarity in various situations.
