    The document discusses the imperative form and its uses. The imperative can be used to give orders, instructions, or suggestions. It is usually not used to mention the person. The negative form uses "don't" before the main verb. "Let's" is followed by the infinitive and can make a suggestion more polite by adding "do". Examples are given of classroom instructions in the imperative form along with exercises to practice identifying and forming imperatives.

    The Imperative can be used in different situations:  In the IMPERATIVE the person is not usually

    mentioned.
     To give orders.
    E.g.: Sit down!  In the negative form we put don´t before the main
    verb.
     To give instructions. E.g.: Don´t open the window.
    E.g.: Push the red button and wait three seconds.

     Let´s is always followed by the infinitive.


     To ask someone to do or not to do something.
    E.g.: Let´s play.
    E.g.: Please, close the door.

     To make suggestions.  We can make the imperative 'more polite' by


    adding do.
    E.g.: Let´s go to the cinema. (Let´s = Let us)
    E.g.: Do be quiet.
