    The document discusses imperatives, which are verbs used to give commands, warnings, advice, instructions, or requests. Imperatives use the base form of a verb without "to." They do not require a subject because the subject "you" is implied. Imperatives can be made more polite by adding "do" before the verb. Negative imperatives use "don't" or "do not" before the verb. Sequence markers like "first," "then," "next," etc. can be used when giving a multi-step instruction. The document provides examples of imperatives in sentences and how to make a cup of coffee using imperatives and sequence markers.
