The imperative mood (abbreviated IMP) expresses commands or requests as a grammatical mood. These commands or requests urge the audience to act a certain way. It also may signal a prohibition, permission, or any other kind of exhortation.
Formulation of the English imperative simply uses the bare infinitive form of the verb. The infinitive form usually corresponds to the second-person present indicative form, with the exception of the verb be. The subject of these sentences is usually understood as you (the second person) except in the case of "Let's" which implies first person and at least a second person. Other languages such as Latin, French and German have several inflected imperative forms, which can vary according to grammatical categories such as:
For instance, Latin regular forms can exist:
Some consider this richness of forms useful for a better understanding, particularly because no subject pronoun normally specifies with the imperative.
The use of the imperative mood be seen as impolite, inappropriate or even offensive in certain circumstances. Commonly, polite speech will instead express the same thing as a question or statement, such as:
Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are sometimes preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."
Ice cubes that are crushed or sheared into irregularly-shaped flakes may add an interesting aesthetic effect to some cocktails. Crushed ice is also used when faster cooling is desired, since the rate of cooling is governed by the number and average radius of the ice particles.
Melting ice cubes sometimes precipitate white flakes, commonly known as "floaties". This is calcium carbonate which is present in many water supplies and is completely harmless.[citation needed]
American physician and humanitarian John Gorrie built a refrigerator in 1844 with the purpose of cooling air. His refrigerator produced ice which he hung from the ceiling in a basin. Gorrie can be considered the creator of ice cubes, but his aim was not to cool drinks: he used the ice to lower the ambient room temperature. During his time, a dominant idea was that bad air quality caused disease. Therefore, in order to help treat sickness, he pushed for the draining of swamps and the cooling of sickrooms.
The road may lead to nowhere
just make sure you don't lose it
when you know you got it going on...
its hard to find the path
once you see it reach it out
or you'll probably end up somewhere else...
Bridge:
I'm a survivor
of the other kind that
do not give up hope
cus they know who they are
I'm a superman
come and share my strength
that kriptonyte cannot bring down...
Chorus:
I say lets reach it out
don't take it down oh no
once you see
gotta feel it eh eh
123 now
I say lets pucker up
don't wanna lose it now
once you find it
gotta fight it eh eh
come 2 3 now...
The fantasies are strong
gotta make sure you don't fall
for the things that mankind
has to offer
follow your own way
all the others are just fake
there is only one way
to survive...
