3 .Explain that

We start a sentence with the base form of a verb when we want to tell people to do something．We add ‘don’t’ in front of the verb when we want to tell people not to do something．Imperative sentences do not normally include a subject, because the subject ‘you’ is implied. However, a noun or pronoun can sometimes be used to identify the person receiving an order or instruction, e.g., the speaker wants to attract Mary’s attention and so he/she says, ‘Mary, don’t push.’ / ‘Don’t push, Mary.’. To be polite，we always use ‘please’ with the instructions．

Step II Task

Write some instructions on the board. Then ask them about the situations when we use them. Ask classes to create a list of different instructions and then write the different situations as titles above it, e.g.,

Classroom

Sit down.

Stop talking.
