Sometimes, you give commands or orders to people around you. When they are able to
perform your orders and commands, you get satisfied and unintentionally express excitement
or strong emotion. But are you aware how commands and strong emotions are expressed in
sentences?

Some Sentences express commands or orders. They say instructions on


what a person shall do. They are called Imperative sentences. On the other hand,
some sentences express strong emotions of anger, excitement and the likes. They
use exclamation point. They are called exclamatory sentences.

Definition of Imperative Sentence

An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives instructions or advice, and expresses a


command, an order, a direction, or a request. It is also known as a jussive or a directive.
Depending upon its delivery, an imperative sentence may end with an exclamation mark or a
period. It is usually simple and short, but could be long and complex, depending upon
its context.

For instance, John F. Kennedy shares a wish with his people, when he stated, “And so, my fellow
Americans: ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
(President John Kennedy in his Inaugural Address, 1961). Note that this imperative sentence is
not only long, but simply and ends with a period.

Types of Imperative Sentence

1. Share a Wish or Request – This type of imperative sentence shares polite wishes and
requests with someone, such as, “Have a good day!”
2. Offer an Invitation – This type of imperative sentence extends an invitation, such as,
“Please join me for dinner tonight.”
3. Share a Command/Request – This type of imperative sentence gives a command or
shares a request, such as, “Stop beating the dog!”
