Read each section carefully and answer the questions. An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request.
An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives a direct command, makes a request, or offers an instruction. They usually end with a period (.), but can sometimes end with an exclamation mark (!) if the command is strong.
