What Is an Imperative Verb?
• It is a bossy verb! It makes a sentence
bossy!

Why it is bossy?
• It gives you an order or command.
Where is the imperative verb typically
located in a sentence?
• They are often seen at the beginning of
a sentence and create a command.
• Verbs in imperatives are in their
base form.
• This means that they have no -s, -ed,
or -ing form.
• For example:
• Come here! Open the door.
• Clean your shoes.
• Sit down.
• Sit down!
• Run quickly!

form of a verb to form negative
orders or commands:

• Do not / Don't close the door.

• Do not / Don’t watch TV.
• Do not / Don’t take the car.
• Do not / Don’t run here!
