Imperative

• Wat ging er hier mis?
•  Imperative is waarschijnlijk een van de grammatica vormen die je het meest hoort op school.
• Het gaat hier om een bevel (command), verzoek (request) of instructie (instruction).
• Wordt gemaakt door gebruik te maken van de base van de verb en zonder een subject (persoon/ding) te noemen aangezien je daar al tegen praat.

Onthoud dit goed!

• I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. 

Examples

• Ex: Sit down, Go away, Watch your step!
•   Instructions: Tell someone how to do something.
• Ex: Take a left at the traffic light, Add 350 grams of flour.
• Request: Asking something without asking (like before mentioned: I'm not asking, I am telling you)
• Ex: Please pass the salt, Call your grandmother.
