The Imperative

How to form the imperative:

The imperative is the "command form". The verb takes neither the particle "to" nor a subject, since it is intended to "you". It is formed in the following way "verb in its base form + object". Example:
Close the door. 

Or only the base form as the following Example: 
Stand up.


Imperatives with modal auxiliaries:

To make a polite request, you can add "could you", "can you" or "would you" at the beginning of the command, as in the exemples below:

Could you open the door?
Would you stand up?
