Language Focus

Imperatives: instructions

We can use imperatives to give instructions (tell people to do something). We start an imperative
sentence with a verb. We do not change the verb form.
e. g. Reassure him that help is on the way.
Have him be still and wait for help to arrive.

To make a negative imperative, put do not or don’t before the verb.
e. g. Don’t move your dad unless he’s in danger.
Don’t splint any injury.

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Use the words in the box to make correct forms of imperative
sentences. Use negative imperatives if it is necessary. See the examples below.
