2. CONVERSATION AND MORE: read the following conversation carefully and

identify the commands. Look up any new words in a dictionary.
3. ENRICH YOUR VOCABULARY: In English, the imperative directs someone to do
something. When you want to give a command or an instruction, just say the verb in the
base form. For example: sit down, come in, don’t smoke, listen to me, be quiet, don’t
speak to me like that, etc. When you buy something new, it comes with an instruction
booklet that explains how to use it. This instruction booklet uses imperatives. These
instruction booklets direct you to follow clear and logical steps in order to complete a task.
The negative form is expressed with do + not + the verb in base form. For example, “Do
not smoke in your room.” or “Don’t touch me!”
