The Imperative Mood

  • Commands

Agite Nunc Do Now

  • Give an example of a command in English. E.g., Mercury, tell Aeneas to gather the Trojans and leave Carthage tomorrow.

Moods in Latin

  • The indicative mood "indicates" a fact
    • The fact can be a belief and need not be true.
    • "He sleeps," (dormit) is in the indicative.
  • impero, imperare: order, command
  • Normally, the imperative mood is used for direct commands (orders) like "Go to sleep!".
    • mando, mandare: to command
  • Indicative
  • Imperative

Formation of the Imperative

  • The form of the Latin verb used in giving a command to one person is the same as that of the present stem
    • Formed by dropping the –re from the present active infinitive
    • vocā / re: vocā = imperative singular = call
    • monē / re: monē = imperative singular = warn
    • In Latin –te is added to the present stem if the subject understood is plural
    • Cf.
    • Mary, hurry! Properā, Marīa!
    • Boys, hurry! Properāte, puerī!

Negative Commands

  • To give a negative command in Latin is very simple.
  • Use nōlī with the present infinitive if the subject is singular; nōlīte, if plural.
    • Both forms mean unwilling or don’t
    • Don’t fear, Mary! Nōlī timēre, Marīa!
    • Don’t fear, boys! Nōlīte timēre, puerī!

Study Helps

  • The tense of the imperative most used is the present; it is always second person, singular or plural.
  • The imperative of the verb sum is es, singular, and este, plural.
    • Be good, Mary! Es bona, Marīa!
    • Be good, boys! Este bonī, puerī!
