Verb conjugation: imperative

The imperative form — also called the command form — is a very coarse (and impolite!) way of telling someone to do something. For example:

This form is usually not used in normal speech (unless you're in the army). What most people usually use is the 〜て form of the verb with a ください attached, or (especially if they're women) use the 〜なさい form of the verb.
