Can anyone give examples of imperative sentences (English)? Ten

Hello, original poster. 1. Imperative Sentence

Definition: Sentences used to express commands, requests, advice, warnings, prohibitions, etc. are called imperative sentences. Imperative sentences are most commonly used to express Command, so it is often called an imperative sentence in school grammar.

Imperative sentences are usually omitted because the object (i.e., the subject) is the second person. The verbs of imperative sentences are all in the present tense, and are used at the end of the sentence. A period indicates the end. Example:

Go and wash your hands.

（Go and wash your hands.——Command）

Be quiet, please. (Please be quiet.)

（Please be quiet.——Request）

Be kind to our sister.

（Be kind to the sister.——Advice )

Watch your steps.

(Walking carefully.——Warning)

Look out! Danger!

(Watch out! Danger) !——Strong warning, like an exclamation)

Keep off the grass.

（Don’t practice the lawn.——Forbidden）

No parking.< /p>

(No parking. - Prohibited)

Imperative sentences often express the subject "You" to make the other party sound softer, for example:

You go and tell him, Chris. (Chris, go and tell him.)

< p>When the verb is predicated in its original form, add don't to the beginning of the sentence to negate it;

3. Let type (i.e.: Let + object + verb base form + other components) .For example: Let me help you. Let me help you.

●Negative structure:

1. Do-type and Be-type negatives both add don' at the beginning of the sentence. t is formed. For example: Don't forget me! Don't forget me!

Imperative Sentences starting with "let"

Imperative Sentences starting with "let" is a common verb sentence pattern, and its main uses are as follows:

1. Indicates "suggestion".

The "let" in this sentence pattern is followed by a first-person pronoun object, such as:

(1) Let me try.

(2) Let's do it.

(3) Let

me go and look for it.

This sentence pattern is euphemistic and more polite than the direct imperative sentence. Try comparing (4)a and (4)b:

(4) a. Don't disturb him.

b. Let's not disturb him.

(a) is a direct command with a strong tone, not as gentle and pleasant as (b).

2. Expresses "indirect command" or "wishes".

The verb object in this sentence pattern is a third-person noun or pronoun, such as:

(5) Let Robert take charge of the marketing department.

(6) Let her join our choir.

3. Indicates "warning", "contempt", "threat", etc.

The object in this kind of imperative sentence is also the third person called the subject. In addition to the fierce tone, sometimes it is also sarcastic, such as:

(7) Let him try and he will expose his inability to work on him own.

(8) Let the invaders come and our armed forces will wipe them out in no time
