How to Make Imperative Sentences
Imperative sentences are used to give commands, make requests, or offer advice. They are an important part of English grammar and can be easily formed. Here are some key concepts to help you understand and use imperative sentences correctly.
Key Concepts:
1. Subject: Imperative sentences do not have a subject. The subject is usually implied and is often "you." For example, "Close the door" implies "You close the door."
2. Verb: The verb in an imperative sentence is always in the base form (infinitive) without "to." For example, "Please sit down" or "Don't be late."
3. Punctuation: Imperative sentences usually end with a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!). The choice depends on the tone of the sentence. For example, "Please be quiet." or "Stop talking!"
Usage Examples:
1. Clean your room. (कमरा साफ करो।)
2. Turn off the lights. (रोशनी बंद करो।)
3. Be careful. (सावधान रहो।)
4. Don't forget to call me. (मुझे फ़ोन करना मत भूलना।)
Key Mistakes:
1. Using a subject: Avoid using a subject in imperative sentences. For example, "You close the door" is incorrect. Instead, say "Close the door."
2. Using the wrong verb form: Always use the base form of the verb in imperative sentences. Avoid using "to" before the verb. For example, say "Please sit down" instead of "Please to sit down."
Remember, imperative sentences are straightforward and direct. They are used to give instructions or express a strong request. Practice making imperative sentences to improve your English communication skills.
