IMPERATIVE SENTENCE
The imperative is a type of sentence that gives advice or instructions that express
request or command. An imperative sentence typically begins with base form of a verb,
as in Go now!
An imperative sentence ends with a period or with an exclamation point.
 Positive Imperatives
To form a positive imperative, use the base form of the verb.
Examples: read, listen, put, cut, sing…
 Read the book.
 Listen!
 Cut the rope.
 Come here.
 Speak English
We can also use positive imperatives by using always.
