IMPERATIVE VERBS One of the most important jobs of a government is to decide

Imperative verbs are verbs that create an imperative sentence
(i.e. a sentence that gives an order or command). When
Reading
an imperative sentence, it will always sound like the speaker
is
bossing someone around.
--Use the root form of the verb to create the imperative.
: Give me that book! Clean your room!
--The word order of a sentence in the imperative is: verb +
object (if needed).
--The negative imperative is made with do + not or don’t.
Don’t lose that key.
- Let’s (let + us) + main verb is used in the 1st person plural
only, especially when you are trying to encourage someone to
do something with you
- In ordinary English the negative is let’s not + main verb or
sometimes don’t let’s + main verb. Let’s not worry about that
now.
how to spend money. Most nations spend billions of dollars
each year on an enormous variety of things: education, health,
transport, research, foreign aid and much more. Politicians
rarely agree about the best way to spend money. Some think
that the most important thing is to have excellent public
services, such as schools and hospitals. Other people think that
rich countries should spend more money on helping poorer
countries so that they can give their citizens basic services like
clean drinking water. Others think that people should pay less
tax. This means that people can keep more of the money that
they earn, but the government then has less money to spend,
and public services are usually more expensive. Some
countries are very lucky, and have natural resources like oil
that they
can sell. This gives them lots of money to spend and it means
that their citizens don’t need to pay so much tax. Other
countries suffer from natural disasters like floods and
hurricanes, and need to spend a lot to protect their citizens.
