What is the "imperative"?

The imperative is a grammatical mood used to issue commands, requests, or instructions. It is characterized by the use of the base form of a verb and often omits the subject, which is usually understood to be "you." For example, in the command "Sit down," the verb "sit" is in the imperative form, directing someone to take action. Imperatives can be polite, as in "Please close the door," or more direct, as in "Turn off the lights." The imperative mood is important for providing clear instructions and influencing behavior in both spoken and written communication.
