Imperative - English lesson

The imperative

> Imperatives are used to issue commands. They use the infinitive of verbs (dropping the word 'to'); in the first person plural ('we'), the infinitive is preceded by 'let's' (or: 'let us'):

• Speak!
• Finish your homework!
• Let's eat!
• Close the door!

> The negative imperative is formed by placing 'don't' (or 'do not') before the imperative form; in the first person plural one uses 'let's not' (or 'let us not') :

• Let's not forget who helped us.
• Don't leave me!
• Don't walk on the grass!
• Please don't eat the daisies!

> The imperative has no effect on the word order of the rest of the sentence.
