Which form does a verb take when the speaker gives command without stating subject?

The form a verb takes when the speaker gives a command without stating the subject is the imperative mood.

Here's how it works:

* Subject is understood: The subject of the command is implied to be "you" (singular or plural).

* Base form: The verb is in its base form (the infinitive without "to").

Examples:

* Close the door. (You close the door.)

* Be quiet. (You be quiet.)

* Let's go. (We let's go.)

* Don't forget your keys. (You don't forget your keys.)

Key points:

* The imperative mood is used for giving direct orders, instructions, and requests.

* The subject is typically omitted, but it is understood to be "you."

* The verb is in its base form.
