Imperative

verb
Here is where our
class begins
What’s an imperative verb?
It is a bossy verb!

It gives you an order and tells you what to do.

It’s always stated in the simple presente and the


sentence pattern is:
V + (O)

E.g.:
Relax.
Put the pizza in the oven.
Open the box.
Negative form
The negative form of imperative verbs also follow the negative
simple presente, second person singular form (do + not +verb). It’s often
contracted to don’t +verb.

E.g.:
Do not run.
Don’t fight.
Don’t cry.
