Use of Past Perfect

  • action taking place before a certain time in the past (putting emphasis only on the fact, not the duration)

  • Conditional Sentences Type III (condition that was not given in the past)

The Imperative Form

You can use the imperative form to give an order, a warning, or some advice.

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!
