The imperative form is a grammatical mood or verb form in various languages that expresses direct commands, orders, instructions, or requests to perform or not to perform an action. The speaker is addressing someone directly and telling them what to do. In English, the simplest way to make an imperative sentence is to use the base form of the verb without a subject. Examples include "Close the door," or "Please sit down." It is a common tool used in persuasive writing and speech.
