Commands – to issue a command in English, use the base form of the verb:

To eat (verb) Eat (base form) = Eat your dinner!

To make it negative, add “don’t” before the base form:

Eat (base form) + Don’t = Don’t eat the waffles!

Use the word ”Please” to make the command more polite:

Please be quiet. Please don’t use your phone.

Choose the word that completes the command:

sit do watch eat be talk clean break throw turn off

_________________down quiet your homework ________vegetables

Practice saying your commands with each other

I don’t like my new teacher. He is always telling me what to do. When we come into class, he says, “Sit down.” When we talk to our friends, he says, “Be quiet.” If we make a mess, he says, “Clean the room. Put the trash in the bin.” If he sees us on our phones, he says, “Don’t text in class.” I don’t like so many rules.

Why doesn’t the student like his teacher?

Two university students meet at a coffee shop: “Hey, aren’t you in my math class?” “Yes I am! My name’s Tom. What’s yours?”

“I’m Sarah. Nice to meet you Tom. What’s your major?”

“I am majoring in Physics. Come, sit with me.”

“Ok, sit down and I’ll get the coffee”

“Please put sugar in mine. Don’t add milk.”

“Ok. Drink it slowly, it’s hot.”

What is Tom’s major? What is Sarah’s major?
