Answer 2

"Lie down son, lie down." is a type of imperative sentence.

• The type of sentences that shows demand, or is commanding in nature and which begin with a word that imparts action are known as Imperative sentences.
• Here, the sentence "Lie down son, lie down." starts with the action verb lie and the sentence is a command to lie down. Here the son is being commanded to lie down. This sentence also lacks the subject which is another feature of an imperative sentence.
• Let us understand imperative sentences with another example - “Quickly bring the medicine.” Here, the sentence starts with an adverb Quickly and the verb bring is the order or command.
