The Imperative Mood. This expresses a command or a request. For example:

• 
  Paint the fence!
  
• 
  Please paint the fence.
  

The Subjunctive Mood. This shows a wish or doubt. For example:

• 
  I suggest that Mark paint the fence.
  
• 
  I propose that Mark be made to paint the fence.
  
• 
  If I were there, I would paint the fence.
  

Imperative Definition

When you define the word imperative, you should note that it can be an adjective and a noun. In both cases, imperative has two distinct meanings: one of urgency, necessity, and importance and another of trying to influence other people’s actions⁵.
The adjective imperative means that something is of the utmost importance or necessity. It can also mean that something is commanding. Similarly, the noun imperative means “something of the utmost importance or necessity”—something imperative. It also means “a command.”⁶

What Is an Imperative Sentence.

Imperative can be traced all the way back to the Latin word imperare, which means “to command.” This is the sense in which the word is used today in grammar, and you might have seen it going together with the words mood and sentence.
The imperative mood is one of the four main verb moods in the English language. As opposed to verb tenses, which indicate time, moods indicate states. The imperative mood indicates the state of commanding. Here’s an example of an imperative sentence:
Sit down and eat your lunch.
In this sentence, someone is giving a command. It can be easily distinguished from indicative sentences, which simply state that something has happened:
He sat down and ate his lunch.
In case you’ve noticed that imperative sentences sometimes don’t have a subject, you should know that they do, even if it’s not actually written in the sentence. You is the subject in this case, but since it’s not written, it’s called you understood, and it’s written as (you)⁷.
