What is Imperative Sentence ?
An imperative sentence is a special kind of language that issues a
request, an order, or offers suggestions or directions. It is
employed to make a straight, powerful message or to issue a clear
directive. Imperative sentences often begin with a verb in the base
form, which is also known as the imperative form. Some of the key
characteristics of imperative sentences are as follows:
1. They give a direct command to an implied second person.
2. They usually begin with a verb that issues a command.
3. Imperative sentences can be in positive or negative form, and
can refer to present or future time.
4. Usually end with a period or an exclamation point.
5. An imperative sentence uses the base verb with no subject.
