• An imperative

tells someone to do something. Look at some more examples:

Giving commands    : Stop the car.
Giving advice           : Don’t worry about it.
Giving instructions   : First, peel the potatoes. Then, boil the water.
Giving warnings       : Be careful. The floor is wet.

• Have you ever gone by plane? Do you know the procedures to follow before the

plane takes off?
Here is the example of A flight attendant is giving some instructions to the passengers before the plane takes off:

Announcer : Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome aboard United Airlines
 780. Please fasten your seat-belts. Put your seat in the
 upright position and do not smoke. Read carefully the
 card on passenger safety. You will find this in the pocket
 of the seat in front of you.

Mr. Lim :  Excuse me. How do you put this seat upright, please?
Stewardess :  Press this button. The one on the arm of your seat.

Mr. Lim :  Oh,there. Thank you.
Stewardess :  You’re welcome.

Here is the example of a postcard and a notice:

• Hi Luis,

I’m in Montreal for a conference. It’s a beautiful city.
Lots of people speak French here, so I’m glad I took
French in college. Great food! And the shops are
good. Clothes are quite cheap. I bought a nice winter
coat yesterday. I want to go to Quebec City for the
weekend. It’s not far from here.
 Take care,
   
Sue

• QUIET PLEASE !!!

• Cultural Notes

The difference between a command and a request lies in the speaker’s tone of voice and
the use of please.
