Imperative sentences are sentences that give a command, make a request, or offer advice. They usually start with a verb and often don't include a subject (because the subject is understood to be "you"). For example, instead of saying "You should close the door," an imperative sentence would simply say "Close the door!" Imperative sentences are direct and to the point, making them perfect for instructions and requests.
Let's practice using imperative sentences with these exercises:

| 3. Imperative | C. An action or instruction that must be carried out. |
| 4. Verb | D. A word that describes an action, state, or occurrence. |
| 5. Subject | E. Who or what the sentence is about. |
Match the term to the definition. For example: 1 - A
