NARRATOR:
Oh, cut that out! Quieten down.
Command sentences give instructions and tell someone to do something.
They use imperative or bossy verbs, like ‘jog on the spot’.
If you put a bossy verb at the beginning of a sentence, it turns it into a command.
They’re usually short, like ‘tidy that up’, ‘stand straight’, or ‘jump up and down’, and they can end in full stops or exclamation marks depending on how bossy you want them to be.
Which I’m going to have to be right now.
Stop it!
Honestly.
Description
Instructions tell people what to do and how to do it. They need to be clear and precise so that the reader or listener can follow them. Learn more with Grudge and Fudge in this video.
