IMPERATIVE MOOD To give orders, warnings and instruction in English, we use the imperative form: Order: Be quiet. Warning: Take care! Instructions: Listen to me carefully

Imperative sentences can end with a period (.) or an exclamation point (!).

Use the base form of the verb (without “to”). Imperative sentences can be affirmative or negative to indicate prohibitions.

Give orders (commands) or prohibitions. Example: Don’t open the box.

IMPERATIVE MOOD

When use the imperative form with an adult, use “you” (usted) and we “soften” the imperative form with “let’s” or “please”: Let’s go now. Please listen to what I’m saying.

The imperative can be used for all subjects, but you can also use “let’s” before the verb if you are including yourself in the imperative (use the preposition us).

For the negative of “let’s” is “let’s not” Let’s not argue!
