GIVING ORDERS AND INSTRUCTIONS
-To give orders and write instructions, we sometimes use the IMPERATIVE form of the verb:
       Wear a helmet!    (Affirmative)
       Don't run near the pool!    (Negative)
-To form the negative, we write "don't + verb"
-Imperatives don't have a subject:
       You wear a helmet!
c. Open your workbook on page 45 and complete exercises 1 and 2. Use the Imperative.

I'll post the solutions on Tuesday!

Good luck!!
