Grammar

Do you know what grammar we use to give instructions and make requests? Watch a short explanation and repeat the example sentences after me.

When we give instructions or make requests in English, we use the imperative. For example: "Press this button." We often add the word "please" to be polite. We can put "please" at the start. For example: "Please press this button." or at the end, for example: "Press this button, please." When we add "please" at the end, we add a comma before it. To say "no", we add the word "Don’t" before the verb. For example: "Don't move." We often put an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence.

Please press this button

Look at the camera, please

Don't move, please
