The rules
- An imperative tells someone to do something. It begins with the base form of the verb and usually has no subject: Close the door.
- The same form gives an order, a request, directions, instructions, advice, a warning or an invitation; please, kindly and the situation show which: Please sit down.
- Make it negative with don’t (or do not) before the base verb, and never doesn’t: Don’t touch the wires. Never makes a strong negative: Never swim alone.
- Use let’s + base verb for a suggestion that includes you, and let’s not to make it negative: Let’s not waste water.
- Let + object + base verb has no to: Don’t let the dog come in.
- Do before an imperative adds emphasis: Do sit down. The verb after it stays in the base form.
- Be gives imperatives with adjectives: Be careful. Don’t be late.
