English Imperative Sentences: Most Common Imperative Verbs【電子書籍】[ Manik Joshi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What are “Imperative Sentences”?</p> <p>The word "imperative" is derived from the term "emperor".<br /> Imperative sentences are used to give commands (orders).<br /> Imperative sentences are also used to give instruction/advice/suggestion/warning/invitation/appeal.<br /> Imperative sentences are also used to make a request. You should use ‘please’ (or another polite word) in the beginning or at the end of the sentence to make a request.<br /> An imperative sentence begins with the base (first) form of a verb which is also called a verb word. In an imperative sentence, the subject - ‘you’ - is understood. However, for the first and third-person imperative, the imperative sentence begins with ‘let’.<br /> You can end an imperative sentence with the period (.) or exclamation (!). Exclamation is used to show direct and firm command.<br /> ‘Imperative’ is one of the three moods of an English verb (indicative, imperative and subjunctive).</p> <p>EXAMPLES OF IMPERATIVE SENTENCES:</p> <p>(A). DIRECT ORDER<br /> Attend the meeting.<br /> Discharge your duty.<br /> Enforce the law.<br /> Quash the previous order.<br /> Return to work.<br /> Vacate this place.</p> <p>(B). INSTRUCTION<br /> Climb the stair.<br /> Fill out this form.<br /> Go on foot.<br /> Hang a painting.<br /> Light a candle.<br /> Note this down.<br /> Open up the cage.<br /> Push a trolley.<br /> Spell it out.<br /> Tie your shoelaces.<br /> Unpack the luggage.</p> <p>(C). INFORMAL ADVICE<br /> Book a hotel room.<br /> Improve your appearance.<br /> Mend your ways.<br /> Walk elegantly.</p> <p>(D). SUGGESTION<br /> Follow your dreams<br /> Keep up your English.</p> <p>(E). WARNING<br /> Don’t Jump that gate!<br /> Watch out for a traffic signal!</p> <p>(F). INVITATION<br /> Come to the party with me.<br /> Have a meal with us.<br /> Let’s stay at my house.</p> <p>(G). APPEAL<br /> Be Silent.<br /> Let’s curb the menace of drugs addiction.</p> <p>(H). REQUEST<br /> Give me five hundred dollars, please.<br /> Come soon, please.</p> <p>Other Uses of Imperative Sentences:</p> <ol> <li>Wish -- Have a safe journey.</li> <li>Apology -- Pardon me.</li> <li>Permission -- Join us if you want.</li> <li>Public Notice --<br /> Imperatives are used on signboards or notice boards:<br /> Keep off the grass.<br /> Insert your ATM card.<br /> Pull the door.<br /> Push inside.</li> </ol> <p>Important Note -- An imperative sentence can imply different senses (command/instruction/advice, etc.) based on the intonation. [Note: ‘Intonation’ is defined as the rise and fall of the voice in speaking, as this affects the meaning of what is being said.]</p> <p>?<br /> English Imperative Sentences -- A</p> <p>Abide by the commission’s verdict.<br /> Accept his decision.<br /> Achieve your target.<br /> Acknowledge the achievements of women.<br /> Acquire land for road infrastructure.<br /> Act quickly. / Act swiftly.<br /> Add details to this report.<br /> Address a press conference.<br /> Address his concerns regarding payments next week.<br /> Address their demands.<br /> Adhere to the standard operating procedure.<br /> Adjust the rules to help consumers.<br /> Adjust to a new location.<br /> Admire your parents.<br /> Adopt a good strategy in choosing the right candidates.<br /> Adopt a long-term vision for the industry.<br /> Adopt modern technology.<br /> Adopt a wait and watch policy.<br /> Allow him to return home.<br /> Alter the course of your life.<br /> Amend the act.<br /> Analyze the reasons for your defeat.<br /> Analyze the sample.<br /> Announce your candidacy.<br /> Answer the question.<br /> Anticipate rate hikes.<br /> Apologize if you hurt someone.<br /> Apply colors on his forehead.<br /> Apply for a job.<br /> Apply for marks verification.<br /> Apply for a passport.<br /> Appoint a manager.<br /> Appreciate compassionate behavior.<br /> Approach him for help.<br /> Approach the court.<br /> Approve the plan.<br /> Arrange everything before it is late.<br /> Arrange for cash to meet your expenses.<br /> Arrange funds from your relatives.<br /> Arrange funds on your own.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 329円

<p>What are “Root Words”?</p> <p>A root or root word is a word that is used to form another word. It is also called a base word. A root does not have a prefix (a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word) or a suffix (a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word).<br /> The root is the primary lexical unit of a word, and of a word family.</p> <p>For example, pure is a root. By adding prefixes and suffixes, the following words could be made:<br /> impure, purity, pureness</p> <p>Similarly, play and move are root words.
