  7. The imperative

When we say Have a drink, Come here or Sleep well, we are using imperative verb forms: have, come and sleep.

I. Formation

Imperativeshave exactly the same form as the infinitive without to. We use them for ordering, directing, prohibiting, warning, giving advice, giving instructions, encouraging people and so on.

Negative imperatives are made with don’t or do not.

You can also form a negative imperative by putting 'never' in front of the base form of a verb.

We can make an emphatic imperative with do. This is common in polite requests, complaints and apologises.

Add yourself/yourselves to verbs like help, enjoy, behave:

If we are talking to groups of people, we can use imperative with everybody, somebody/anybody, nobody:

After imperatives we can use the question tags will you? won’t you? would you? can you? could you? can’t you?

We add will you? won’t you? can’t you? to express annoyance:

We add would you? could you? can you? for neutral requests:

We add will you? won’t you? for friendly offers:

You can use the imperative mood with some verbs when you are explaining something and you want the listener or reader to think about a particular thing or possibility, or to compare two things.

II. Imperatives with ' let'

'Let' is used in imperative sentences in four different ways:

1) It is used to give an order or instruction.

2) You use it followed by 'us' when you are making a suggestion about what you and someone else should do. 'Let us' is almost always shortened to 'Let's'.

3) You use it followed by 'me' when you are offering to do something.

4) In very formal English, it is used to express a wish.
