The Imperative Form

You can use the imperative form to give an order, a warning, or some advice.
To form the imperative, use the infinitive form of the verb without "to". To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" in front of the verb, as in, "Don't speak!"

Affirmative
Negative
Come here
Don't cross the street
Go there 
Don't say that
Open the door 
Don't be late 
Turn on the TV 
Don't fight 
Sit down 
Don’t go

The imperative is formed the same for all subjects (you, he, we, they), but you can include yourself in the imperative by adding "Let's," as in, "Let's go for a swim".

Affirmative
Negative
Let's work!
Let’s not work!
Let's make a party!
Let's not make a party!
Let's go!
Let's not go!
Let's play!
Let's not play!
Let's go home!
Let's not go home!
