Simple Commands (Imperatives)

An imperative gives a command, an instruction, or a request. It begins with the base verb and has no subject (the subject "you" is understood).

Open the door.

Sit down, please.

Listen carefully.

Don't run. (negative — add don't)

Don't be late.

We add please to be polite, and don't to tell someone not to do something.

Imperatives are great for instructions and signs: Push. Pull. Stop. Keep left.

Common mistake: Adding a subject ("You open the door" sounds like a statement). For a command, just say "Open the door."
