What is an imperative sentence? Provide examples.

An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives a command, makes a request, or expresses a strong suggestion. It is used to convey instructions, directions, or to express a desire for someone to do something. Imperative sentences typically do not have a subject explicitly stated, as the subject is usually implied to be the person or people being addressed.

Examples of imperative sentences:

1. "Close the door."
2. "Please pass me the salt."
3. "Don't forget to bring your umbrella."
4. "Clean your room before you go out."
5. "Be quiet during the movie."
6. "Turn off the lights before leaving."
7. "Take a deep breath and relax."
8. "Pay attention to the road while driving."
9. "Finish your homework before dinner."
10. "Let's go for a walk in the park."

In all these examples, the sentences are giving a command, making a request, or expressing a suggestion. The speaker is instructing or urging someone to perform a specific action.
