1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,400
Now, in this grim refresh, we will be talking about imperatives, and when you hear the word imperative,

2
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:13,450
all that means is it is a command or it is an instruction.

3
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:17,950
So how do you give commands or instructions in English?

4
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,250
Well, the first thing to know is that.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,260
In imperative sentences, we normally don't use a subject.

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,600
Right, because if you think about it, if you're giving a command to someone.

7
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:38,100
Don't need to pay the subject's name or address the subject, because they should already.

8
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:45,170
No, it's going to then you're already talking to them so many times you'll see these imperatives without

9
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:45,800
a subject.

10
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:55,480
And if it's the negative form, you're going to include that do not a combination, right and do is

11
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720
known as an auxiliary for helping.

12
00:00:58,690 --> 00:01:01,460
Let's look at our examples to make this a little bit more clear.

13
00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:06,970
The first example says go straight ahead and take the first turn on the right.

14
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:11,800
So the first thing to notice is there's no subject, OK?

15
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,240
And our word are main verbs to stay in their base form.

16
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:18,020
We're not changing them at all.

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,130
They just stay in their main base form or verbs to go and to take.

18
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:26,290
And it just goes straight ahead.

19
00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:30,400
And that's one command and take the first left turn on the right.

20
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:31,760
There you have another command.

21
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:33,400
These are imperatives.

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:43,130
The next example is a negative version of the imperative, and it's it says don't be shy and ask for

23
00:01:43,130 --> 00:01:43,850
directions.

24
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:46,130
So the first part here is negative.

25
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:47,860
Don't be shy.

26
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:50,690
So we have that auxiliary.

27
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:52,610
Do not.

28
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:54,620
Becomes a contraction.

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Don't.

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,910
Then don't be shy.

31
00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:06,590
The verb to be shot, don't be shot in the next part of that sentence is another command ask for direction.

32
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:13,960
And again, you can see there is no subject to these commands, very easy to make, very easy to do,

33
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:16,810
just take your main verb and change it.

34
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:19,040
That is the base for.

35
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:32,310
In this grammar refresh, we will be reviewing or learning about there is and there are.

36
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,990
There is and there are very useful phrases.

37
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:47,230
The phrases everyone learns right away, we use these phrases about the location or ask about how many

38
00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:48,460
of these things exist.

39
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:51,680
Or to introduce something.

40
00:02:51,710 --> 00:03:02,780
OK, so we use is a is it a noun following this phrase is singular, but we'll use R if the noun is

41
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:03,190
plural.

42
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:09,080
Right, but there is a huge supermarket right next to.

43
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:11,750
Or there are.

44
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:21,510
Twenty oranges or there is a dog in the house, so we're going to change depending on the now, but

45
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:23,570
let's look at the example sentences.

46
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:26,410
The first one is you can't miss it.

47
00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:31,070
There is a huge supermarket right next to you.

48
00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:35,840
So here we're talking about the supermarket and there's only one of them.

49
00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:45,380
What we're using is right there is a huge supermarket and a lot of times when you speak or when native

50
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:56,150
speakers are speaking these phrases a kind of mush it together so that I'm saying there is a huge supermarket,

51
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:03,350
they're going to put that there is together and say there's a there's a huge supermarket right next

52
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:03,680
to you.

53
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:09,560
Again, I'll say it more casually as a native speaker, you can't miss it.

54
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,430
There's a huge supermarket right next to there's a.

55
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:19,080
There is a kind of becomes there's a there's a.

56
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,530
And is it there's a huge supermarket next to.

57
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:32,280
The next example sentence is you should check out some of the lounges, there are five of them here.

58
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:34,810
There are five of them here.

59
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,630
OK, here we have it, we're talking about plural.

60
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,500
That's right.

61
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:45,350
Five of them have to are there are five all right.

62
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,760
You should check out some of the lounges.

63
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,720
There are five of them.

64
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,460
And again, we can kind of watch this one together.

65
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,050
There are.

66
00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:54,220
There are.

67
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:55,780
There are.

68
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:56,770
There are.

69
00:04:57,870 --> 00:05:04,380
There are there there were five of them there, kind of just kind of blended all together.

70
00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:05,630
There are five of them.
