Question

What is an imperative sentence?

Answer 1

An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives advice or instructions or that expresses a request or command. (Compare with sentences that make a statement, ask a question, or express an exclamation.)

An imperative sentence typically begins with the base form of a verb, as in Go now! The implied subject you is said to be "understood" (or elliptical): (You) go now! (See You Understood.)

Answer 2

An imperative sentence is a sentence that always addresses the second person (whether plural or singular) so the subject is implied most of the time (it is not directly stated) and is used to give a command, an instruction, a piece of advice, or to make a request. Here are some examples (Imperative sentences underlined):

Please, stand up. (A request)

Do not look at me like that! (An order)

Please, listen to what I say, don't be so grumpy, it will not take anywhere. (Advice)
