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:
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...

My baby, he don't talk to sweet,
He ain't got much to say.
But he loves me, loves me, loves me,
I know that he loves me anyway.
And maybe he don't dress fine,
But I don't really mind.
'Cause every time he pulls me near,
I just wanna cheer:
Let's hear it for the bo-oy!
Let's give the boy a ha-a-a-a-nd.
Let's hear it for my ba-bay.
You know you gotta understa-a-a-and.
Oh maybe he's no Romeo,
But he's my lovin' one man show
OH oh oh oh
Let's hear it for the bo-oy!
My baby may not be rich,
He's watching every di-i-i-ime.
But he loves me, loves me, loves me

But that's alright by me-e-e-e-e
