  <\/span>What are the 4 types of sentences?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
  According to English grammar, sentences are mainly of 4 types which are as follows:<\/p>\n
  1. Imperative<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    - Imperative<\/strong> sentence refers to a command.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      <\/span>Are imperative sentences always a command?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
      When we say imperative sentences are commands, we do not just mean saying things like \u201cDo this\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t do that\u201d! It is a mode of communication where you tell people around you about things that you need.<\/p>\n
      For example, when you ask the server to bring you the check at a restaurant or when you request a colleague to drop you off at home, or even when you are teaching your pet to fetch something, you are using imperative sentences.<\/p>\n
      Typically, the subject of an imperative sentence is the person being spoken to or addressed\u2014the implied \u201cyou\u201d.<\/p>\n
      Example<\/p>\n
      Coach, (you) give<\/strong><\/span> the students a break.<\/p>\n
      <\/span>What are imperative sentences used for?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
      You can use imperative sentences to serve a multitude of purposes, including:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Giving instructions<\/li>\n
      Making a request<\/li>\n
      Offering advice<\/li>\n
      Giving commands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      <\/span>Different types of imperative sentences<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
      Affirmative imperative sentences<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
      When you tell someone to take a specific action, you are uttering\/writing an affirmative imperative sentence.<\/p>\n
      Example:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Put your jacket on.<\/li>\n
      Go to the drugstore and get me some mouthwash.<\/li>\n
      Remind me to pick up the dry-cleaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Negative imperative sentence<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
      When you tell someone to \u201cnot\u201d take a specific action, you are uttering\/writing a negative imperative sentence. A negative imperative sentence tells the reader or listener to not <\/em>do something<\/p>\n
      Example:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Don\u2019t go out in the dark.<\/li>\n
      Never count your chickens before they hatch.<\/li>\n
      Stop playing with your food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Conditional imperative sentences<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
      So far, we have given examples of simple imperative sentences with single clauses. An imperative sentence can have multiple clauses too. Most multi-clause imperative sentences are conditional imperative sentences, which means that it refers to a cause and effect (likely or highly unlikely) relationship.<\/p>\n
      Example:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Give a shout-out if you enjoyed the concert.<\/li>\n
      If you don\u2019t want to do it, don\u2019t do it!<\/li>\n
      If it does not rain tomorrow, attack the camp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
      \n

      <\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Structure of an Imperative Sentence<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
      The structure of most imperative sentences is similar. Since imperative sentences talk about \u201caction\u201d or \u201cdoing\u201d (or \u201cnot doing\u201d) something, they mostly start with the base or root form of the verb.<\/p>\n
      \n
      Study<\/strong> for your test.<\/li>\n
      Go <\/strong>to school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      However, there are exceptions.<\/p>\n
      Example:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Please keep<\/strong><\/span> yourself updated<\/b> on everything that is happening.<\/li>\n
      Please shut<\/strong> the door when you leave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      In some imperative sentences, the verb is the entire sentence.<\/p>\n
      Example:<\/p>\n
      \n
      Go.<\/li>\n
      Stop!<\/li>\n
      Run!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Finally, end an imperative sentence with either a period or an exclamation point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
