Imperatives

Imperatives (The Command Form)



It is simple to use the imperative or command form in English. When a command is directed at someone else, use the you form of the simple present tense:


–You take the elevator.
–>Take the elevator.


(Simply drop the subject you.)


If the command includes you and others, use the we form:


–We take our luggage.
–>Let's take the luggage.


(Drop the subject we and add let's [let us].)
