IMPERATİVES

Imperatives (Giving Orders and Instructions) (7th Grade English)

We use imperatives when we want to give a direct order, an instruction, or a warning. In imperatives, there is no "subject" (You/I/We).

Usage

• Positive: Open the window! / Turn left! / Listen to me!


• Negative: Don't touch that! / Don't run in the corridors! / Don't smoke!

Polite Way: We add "Please" to be more polite. (Örn: Please sit down.) You can see imperatives on signs, in recipes, or in a classroom. They are short and clear!
