1 These are imperatives:
Go. Help. Come. Wait.
We use the imperative like this:
Come in! Have a cup of tea.
Turn left at the post office.
Don’t touch ! It’s hot.
Note that sometimes the imperative is one
word, but often we give more information:
Help!
Help me!
Help me with my suitcase.
We can say please after an imperative to be
more polite:
Help me with my suitcase, please.
Hurry up, please. We’re late.
Come here, please.
Listen to me, please.
