An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives a command, makes a request, or expresses a strong suggestion. It typically has a verb in the imperative mood and is often followed by an exclamation point or a period.

Key Characteristics:

* Command or Request: Imperative sentences are used to tell someone to do something or ask them to do something.

* Verb in Imperative Mood: The verb in an imperative sentence is in the form used for commands or requests. For example, "Go to the store."

* Subject is Often Implied: The subject of an imperative sentence is often implied (understood) to be "you." For example, "Go to the store." (You go to the store)

* Exclamation Point or Period: Imperative sentences are typically followed by an exclamation point (for stronger commands) or a period.

Examples:

* "Close the door!" (Command)

* "Please pass the salt." (Request)

* "Let's go for a walk." (Strong suggestion)

* "Stop talking!" (Command)

* "Give me a call later." (Request)
