English Grammar | The imperative | Imperatives are used to issue commands. They use the infinitive of verbs (dropping the word
"to"); in the first person plural ("we"), the infinitive is preceded by "let's" (or: "let us"):
· Speak!
· Finish your homework!
· Let's eat!
· Close the door!
The negative imperative is formed by placing "don't" (or "do not") before the imperative form; in
the first person plural one uses "let's not" (or "let us not") :
· Let's not forget who helped us.
· Don't leave me!
· Don't walk on the grass!
· Please don't eat the daisies!
The imperative has no effect on the word order of the rest of the sentence.
