Imperatives
  1. Imperatives are used to give directions, commands or make polite requests.
    1. In the case of being used to make educated requests they should always be used in combination with the word please
      1. For example:
        1. Please, wash the dishes you dirty at lunch
          1. Please, go to sleep right now
            1. Please, tell me what time it is
          2. The simple form of the verb is used to form the imperative.
            1. The simple form is the infinitive without the particle to:
              1. Infinitive
                1. To reach
                  1. To start
                    1. To shift
                    2. Simple form
                      1. Reach
                        1. Start
                          1. Shift

                        1. With the imperative the understood subject of the sentence is always you.
                          1. This happens because the command or instruction is for the person the speaker is talking to, and that person is you.
                            1. For example:
                              1. Eat the whole salad!
                                1. Turn right!
                                  1. Do exercise!
                                2. Imperative sentences are the only sentences in the active voice in English that do not require a subject (it is understood).
                                3. Making imperative verbs negative is only a matter of adding "don't"
                                  1. For example:
                                    1. Do not look back!
                                      1. Do not Cry!
                                        1. Do not give up!
                                        2. Don't + simple form of the verb
