Imperative special cases

Imperative with subject

Normally when we use the imperative there is no subject because the subject is obvious—it's YOU!
Sometimes, however, to make the subject clear, we do use a subject, for example:

Everybody look!

Relax, everybody.

Nobody move!

John sit down; the rest of you go home.

Somebody answer the phone!

You keep out of this!

We can also use you as the subject to imply anger, as in:

You watch your mouth, young man!

You be quiet!

Don't you talk to me like that!

Unreal commands

We often express hope and make suggestions with the imperative form, but these are not real
commands:

Have a good trip. (hope)

Enjoy the meal. (hope)

If there's no olive oil try almond oil. (suggestion)

Imperative with do

If we put do before the imperative the effect is to make requests, apologies and complaints more
emphatic but also more polite:
Do take a seat. (request)

Do forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you. (apology)

Do try to keep the noise down, gentlemen. (complaint)

Imperative with always, never, ever

The words always, never, ever come before imperatives, as in:

Always remember who's boss.

Never speak to me like that again.

Don't ever speak to me like that again.

Passive imperative

We sometimes make passive imperatives with get, for example:

Get vaccinated before your holiday.

Imperative with and

We can sometimes use the imperative + and instead of an if-clause, for example:

Go now and I'll never speak to you again. (If you go now, I'll never speak...)

Imperative with question tag

We sometimes use these question tags after imperatives: can you? can't you? could you? will you?
won't you? would you? Look at these examples:

Lend me a dollar, can you?

Help me with this, will you?

Keep still, won't you?
