We express commands with the imperative form. The subject 'you' is understood and is not expressed. We use 'don't' to express the negative of the imperative. |

| Examples: | Bring us water. | Don't bring us water. | |
| Go into the dining room. | Don't go into the dining room. | ||
| Clean off the tables. | Don't clean off the tables. | ||
| Please, come to my office. | Please, don't come to my office. | ||
| We use 'Let's' (let us) when we express invitation to do something. We express the negative by placing 'not' after 'let's'. We also use 'please' to make commands more polite. | |||
| Examples: | Let's get to work. | Let's not get to work. | |
| Let's get out of here. | Let's not get out of here. | ||
