I'm Mary and this is Sid, my husband.
I'm 65 and Sid is 64 — like the Beatles song!
This is a photo of our daughter Fiona and her family.
Fiona's a teacher at a big school in Manchester.
She's 43 now, or is it 44?
No, she's 43.
Her husband's name is Nick and he's a doctor.
And I think he's a very good father.
And these are their two children — our grandchildren.
This is Anne, our granddaughter.
She's 14, and she's a very good musician.
And this is our grandson Kevin.
He's 11 — oh no. he's 12 now.
It's a very nice photo, I think.

These are imperatives:
Go. Help. Come. Wait.

We use the imperative like this:
Come in! Have a cup of tea.
Turn left at the post office.
Don’t touch! It’s hot.

Note that sometimes the imperative is one word, but often we give more information:

Help!
Help me!
Help me with my suitcase.

We can say please after an imperative to be more polite:

Help me with my suitcase, please.
Hurry up, please. We’re late.
Come here, please.
Listen to me, please.

2
We form the negative like this:
Don’t be late.
Don’t forget your books!
Don’t wait for me.

We normally use the short form Don’t.

3
We use the imperative:

>  to give instructions:
Turn right at the corner.
Don’t forget your passport.

>  to give warnings:
Look out! There’s a car coming.
Be careful! That box is very heavy

>  to give advice:
Have a rest. You look tired.
Take a coat. It’s cold today.
Don’t see that film. It’s terrible!

>  to ask people to do things:
Come in please, and sit down.
Listen to this song. It’s wonderful.
Pass the butter, please.

>  to make offers:

Have another orange juice.
Make yourself a cup of coffee.

>  to ‘wish’ things:

Have a good trip!
Have a nice holiday!
