2. The Imperative Mood

The imperative mood is used to express demands, instructions or requests. We usually use the second person (plural/singular) with an unspoken “you” for the subject.

For example:

Come in!

Shut the door.

Add some more salt.

You can also tell people not to do something.

For example:

Don’t eat that greasy pork.

Don’t put too much bread crumbles on the chop.

The exception to the use of the second person is when you want to include yourself in your suggestion, here we use “Let’s…”

For example:

Let’s go to the steak house.

Let’s have some stuffed goose for dinner.

If you can’t see the difference between saying to someone “Go to the steak house” and “Let’s go to the steak house” you might never get to go to the steak house yourself.
