Summary of "What are Imperative Sentences? | #iQuestionPH"

The video explains the concept of Imperative Sentences, focusing on their purpose, types, and distinguishing features.

Definition: Imperative Sentences are used to give advice, commands, directions, orders, or requests. They tell people what to do.
Punctuation: Typically end with a period (.) but can also end with an Exclamation Point (!).
Types of Imperative Sentences:
1. Instruction or Advice
  - "Switch off your mobile phones when you enter the room."
  - "Preheat the oven."
  - "Take the cookies out when they are golden."
2. Command
  - "Stop talking and listen to the teacher."
  - "Everybody do not run."
  - "Return this book to Elsa."
3. Invitation
  - "Please come to my birthday party."
  - "Join us for dinner tonight."
  - "Come with me."
4. Request or Wish
  - "Have fun at the party later."
  - "Have a great day."
  - "Have a safe trip."
Clarifications:
- Imperative Sentences, even when ending with an exclamation mark, are not exclamatory sentences because exclamatory sentences do not give commands.
- Imperative Sentences are not declarative sentences, even if they end with a period, because declarative sentences only share statements, not commands or wishes.

Identify the purpose of the sentence (advice, Command, Invitation, request/wish).
Note the punctuation used (period or Exclamation Point).
Understand that Imperative Sentences direct action or express requests rather than state facts or emotions.
