Imperatives
1. Forms and use.
In sentence like Come here, Be quite, Have a drink or Don’t worry about it, the verb forms come, be, have, and don’t worry are called “Imperatives”.
Affirmative imperative have the same form as the infinitive without “to”;
Negative imperatives are constructed with
Do not (don’t) + infinitive
Imperatives are used, for example, to tell or ask people what to do, to make suggestion, to give advice or instruction, to encourage and offer, and to express wishes for people’s welfare.
Look in the mirror before you drive off.
Please do not lean out of the window.
Tell him you’re not free this evening.
Try again-you nearly did it.
Have some more tea.
Enjoy your holiday.
An imperative followed by “and” or “or” can have similar meaning to an if-clause.
Walk down our street any day and you’ll see kids playing.
(=If you walk . . .)
Shut up or I’ll lose my temper. (=If you don’t shut up . . .)
Don’t do that again or you’ll be in trouble. (=If you do that again . . .)
2. Emphatic imperative
We can make an emphatic imperative with do + infinitive. This is common in polite request, complaints and apologies.
Do sit down.
Do forgive me.
Do be a bit more careful.
To be contineued
