Imperatives

Description

En inglés no se usa el imperativo tanto como en el español. En general, se usa para dar órdenes, instrucciones o advertencias. Las frases imperativas se construyen de manera diferente a las afirmativas: no se utiliza un sujeto porque se supone que el sujeto es siempre “you” y el verbo principal va en la forma infinitiva.

Imperatives
  1. The Affirmative Imperative
    1. Verb + noun, adjective…
      1. Examples:
        1. 1. ¡Please, Do your homework!
          1. 2. ¡Tell me the truth!
      2. The Negative Imperative
        1. Auxiliary verb (to do) + negative auxiliary (not) + verb + noun, adjective…
          1. Examples:
            1. 1. ¡Don’t hit your sister!
              1. 2. Please, Do not wash in the washing machine
          2. If we want to include ourselves in the sentence, we use “let’s".
            1. Examples:
              1. 2. ¡Let’s go!
                1. 1. Let’s not fight
              2. Definition and grammar:
                1. Is used to give orders, instructions or warnings.
                  1. The structure of imperative sentences is different because we do not use a subject; it is assumed that the subject is always “you”.
                    1. Therefore, the verb is always in the infinitive form.
