L'impératif présent or the present imperative is a verbal mood used to give orders, instructions or express wishes in a direct way. It is mainly used in the second person singular and plural (tu, vous), as well as in the first person plural (we) to express an invitation. To form the present imperative, we use the verbal base of the verb second person singular (you) and plural (you). It makes it possible to express instructions or requests in a direct and concise manner.
