imperative
| In grammar, the mood of the verb in a sentence in which a command or request is given (‘Take a seat’; ‘Speak up!’). |
| An imperative sentence gives an instruction to be obeyed, and is often followed by an exclamation mark, as in ‘Stand! Now turn to the right.’ The subject word is not usually used in commands, but it can be: ‘You go away!’; ‘You send him to me now!’ |
