Unit Overview

📍 SWATStudents will be able to give and follow instructions using affirmative imperatives (Stand up!) and negative imperatives (Don’t run!).

Teacher Note

What You Will Deliver

Imperatives are the simplest verb form in English — no subject, no conjugation. Just the base verb. Students use them constantly at work: “Send the email.” “Don’t be late.” “Open the document.” By the end, every student must give 10 classroom or workplace instructions without hesitation.
