IMPERATIVES
| Usage | Examples |
We use Imperatives
| Be quiet. Open your books Don't go there |
Imperatives are divided into two groups:
| Do your homework. Always remember my advice. Don't park your car here Never do it again. |
| Positive Imperatives: To form a positive imperative we use the base form of the verb. The base form is the form in the dictionary. We can also make positive imperatives by using always. | Listen! Raise your hands. Do your homework. Speak English. Come here. Be quiet. Always put on your safety belt. Always remember my advice. |
| Negative Imperatives: To form a negative imperative we use "Do not + the base form of the verb" We can also form negative imperatives by using never. | Don't come here Don't speak Don't drink it Don't park your car here Never go there again. Never do it again. Never say never. Never make a promise. |
