 IMPERATIVE

Definition: Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warning or instructions, and
(if you use "please") to make a request. It is one of the three moods of an English verb
(indicative, imperative and subjunctive).
Form of the imperative
The imperative form is the same as the bare infinitive. It has only one form for both second
person singular and plural 'you'

Examples:
hurry up; you'll be late
go out immediately
In the negative form you add 'do not' or 'don't'
Examples:
Don't disturb me; I'm working.

4
Do not smoke!

You can also use "let's" before the verb if you are including yourself in the imperative. The
negative of "let's" is "let's not".

For example:

 Let's stop now.

 Let's have some lunch.
 Let's not argue
 Let's not tell her about it.

Use of the imperative

1. To give instructions
Push the button
Turn left
2. To give commands
Stop saying nonsense
don't lie.
3.To give advice
Go to hospital; you are ill
Tell her that you love her
4. To invite
Please, come to the party
Have a drink

5.Requests
You can also use the imperative to make a request, but you should use a polite word before the
verb:

For example:

 Please take a seat.

 Please wait here.
 Please hold the line.
 Please don't smoke here.

5
6.Warnings
You can use the imperative to warn someone of danger. All the words in the warning are
stressed, but the last word has a higher tone than the first word:

For example:

 Watch out!
 Look out!
 Don't cross!

Use of the emphatic do with the imperative

You can use 'do' before the imperative to emphasize what you want to say:
Example:
Do write down your name.
Do think of our offer.

Notes:
Note that an imperative sentence does not require a subject; the pronoun "you" is implied

Write the correct imperative.

1. _________________upstairs. (to go)

2. _________________your teeth regularly.(to brush)

3. _________________soccer in the classroom.(to play/no)

4. _________________your mobile.( to switch off)

MY WORKING DAY

My working day starts very early. From Monday to Friday I get up at half past
three and I have a shower and a cup of coffee. I usually leave the house at ten
past four because the car always arrives a few minutes early. I get to the studio at
about five o'clock and start work. My programme Good Morning Britain starts at
seven o'clock and finishes at nine o'clock. Then I leave the studio at a quarter
past ten. After that, I go shopping and visit some friends. I get home at three
o'clock. A woman helps me with the housework and the ironing. I read a
newspaper and do some work. Then my husband gets home at half past five in
the evening and I cook dinner. We stay at home in the evening. We don't go out
because I go to bed very early. We usually watch television and then I go to bed
at half past eight, I'm usually asleep by nine o'clock.
