directive sentence imperative verb possible purpose of sentenceGo and see a doctor Go adviceMind out for the mosquitoes Mind (out) warningHave a nice holiday Have expression of good wishesHelp me! Help pleadingCome over here please. Come requestingCome round for a drink tonight. Come invitationOne other thing to notice about the grammar of the imperative verb: in its positive formthere is only one verb in the verb phrase (as in the examples above). If we were to turn them intonegatives - Don't go, Don't mind out, Don't have etc, then there will be two verbs, and theauxiliary will always be the imperative don't. So, if you come across "bossy" sentences like I'mtelling you now - you will go tomorrow, because I say so, it isn't an imperative verb that's beingused. It's a modal verb, making a confident prediction and giving the listener no choices.The way how to use imperativeDirect commandsRequestSuggestionWarning<strong>Direction</strong>InstructionInvitationProhibitionOfferExampleFollow me.Open the window .(please)Take first turning.Watch out!
