Sheila! The report you discussed in class last week is almost due! Use the imperative (base form verbs; direct orders; no subject necessary) to get the final pieces together.
Situation 1: Give an instruction for your Assistant, Steve to bring you the Johnston Industries file.
Situation 2: Politely tell the salesperson at Johnson Industries to send the information in an email.
To give an order, use the base form of the verb. To make the order more polite, we can say 'please,' as in "Pick up this mess." or "Please give me the keys."
Practice: Make three sentences telling someone to do something. Use of 'please' is optional.
