Do + imperative

Sometimes we use the auxiliary 'do' before the imperative. This is very polite and formal.

2. Form Imperative

The imperative mode is much easier than the other modes in English. Because when you need to use imperative ,we don't have to add verbs. In this way, the imperative mode has a very simple structure.

Positive Sentences：The imperative is formed with a verb without a subject.

e.g. Stoptalking.

Eatyour peas.

Negative Sentences:The negative imperative is formed with do not/don't and the verb.

e.g. Don't touchthat.

Don't talk in the library.

Do not talk to me like that.

Do not walk slowly.

Positive Questions , When we ask questions positively, we sometimes use imperative. In such uses, we actually aim to offer the person to do something. When the person in front of us makes such sentences, we need to answer him as yes or no.

e.g. Shall we go out ?

Shell we go to the cinema ?

Negative Questions, In negative questions created with imperatives, we actually aim to offer something to the other person. For questions asked in this way, the person implicitly specifies the request. In this way, the other person will ask a question about whether he wants this option. Examples of negative questions created with Imperatives can be created with the Shall pattern.

e.g. Shall we not go out ?

Shall we notgo to the cinema ?

All of the above sentences are requests and they want to get the opinion of the other person about this request.

3. Public Signs

Imperatives can be used on signs. We use imperative sentceces to give a warning , prohibition, or rules in public places.

e.g. Don't feedthe birds.

No petsallowed.

No parking.
