  1. Imperatives Chapter 12 Presented by: Amelia Cothran and Janet Griffith

  2. What is an Imperative? Imperative is one of the three main moods of English sentences. The main sentence type associated with the imperative mood is a command.

  3. Format of Imperatives • Idiosyncrasies of commands include: • there is no overt noun phrase • they are tenseless • Only appropriate when there is a status difference in the speakers (i.e. teacher/student).

  4. Affirmative and Negative Imperatives • Affirmative: • “Pick up the pencil.” • Negative: • “Don’t drop the pencil.” • An imperative without a verb or an object is called an elliptical. (ex: “Stop!”)

  5. An imperative can be directed at: • A particular person: • The understood you (ex: “Come here.”) • You is explicit (ex: “You come here.”) • Proper name in place of or in addition to the explicit you (ex: “Dawn, come here.”) • Anyone and everyone present (a.k.a. diffuse imperative) (ex: “Don’t move!”) • Both speaker and addressee (a.k.a. inclusive imperative) (ex: “Let’s go to the movies.”)
