The imperative is a grammatical mood that forms commands or requests, including the giving of prohibition or permission, or any other kind of advice or exhortation.
An example of a verb in the imperative mood is be in the English sentence "Please be quiet". Imperatives of this type imply a second-person subject (you); some languages also have first- and third-person imperatives, with the meaning of "let's (do something)" or "let him/her/them (do something)" (these forms may alternatively be called cohortative and jussive).
Imperative mood can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation IMP. It is one of the irrealis moods.
Imperative mood is often expressed using special conjugated verb forms. Like other finite verb forms, imperatives often inflect for person and number. Second-person imperatives (used for ordering or requesting performance directly from the person being addressed) are most common, but some languages also have imperative forms for the first and third persons (alternatively called cohortative and jussive respectively).
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
We always have a real good time.
And maybe he sings off-key
But that's alright by me-e-e-e-e
Yeah. Yeah.
But what he does, he does so well,
Maked me wanna yell:
