Imperative Sentences

An imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses a direct command, request, invitation, warning, or instruction. Imperative sentences do not have a subject; instead, a directive is given to an implied second person.
Definition

An imperative sentence is a sentence that gives a command or instruction. The imperative mood is used for commands, requests, and instructions. 

Examples

To form an imperative sentence in English, we simply use the base form of the verb. 

For example:

• "Close the door."

• "Come here."

• "Sit down."

We can also use the imperative mood to make requests. For example:

• "Please close the door."

• "Can you come here?"

• "Would you please sit down?"

Notice that when we make a request, we usually use a polite form of the imperative. We do this by using a modal verb, such as can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, or would.

Here are some other examples of imperative sentences:

• "Don't forget to close the door."

• "Please turn off the lights before you leave."

• "Let's go for a walk."

Conclusion

As you can see, imperative sentences don't have to be rude or bossy. In fact, they can be quite friendly and polite.
