Imperative verbs (or imperative mood) is a grammatical mood that states a command or a request and also includes giving or denying permissions and suggestions.

Explanation:

Most action verbs can be used in the imperative form such as stop, go, leave, stay, or jump.

Examples:

  • Go to his office. (command)
  • Do not leave your place. (denying permissions)
  • Have a seat (suggestions or invitations)

Imperative mood also implies "you" as the subject of the sentence.
