Answer:

An imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses a direct command, request, invitations, warning, or instruction. Imperative sentences do not have a subject; instead, a directive is given to an implied second person. For example, the sentence “Wash the dinner plates” commands the implied subject to wash the dishes.

2 Types of Imperative Sentences

In English grammar, imperative sentences fall into two main categories: positive imperatives and negative imperative sentences.

Positive imperative sentences: These sentences use affirmative verbs to address the subject. For example, “Pick up some bread from the store.”

Negative imperative sentences: These sentences tell the subject to not do something. They usually begin with the verb "don't" or the negative form of a verb. For example, “Don’t forget your luggage.”

3 Elements of Imperative Sentences

The sentence structure of an imperative sentence centers around an imperative verb.

Implied second person: An imperative sentence does not contain a subject. Instead, the subject of an imperative sentence is an implied second person—“you.”

Imperative verb: An imperative sentence typically begins with an infinitive form of a verb (omitting the "to") followed by the rest of the predicate.

Punctuation: Imperative sentences typically end with a period, but the sentence can end with an exclamation mark if the request is particularly urgent.
