In “Love Me Like You Do,” Ellie Goulding uses imperatives, or commands, to tell her beloved what to do.
For example, check out the italicized words that are commands:
“Follow me to the dark”
and of course…
“So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do”
We use the imperative form to give instructions. It’s also used to warn or give advice.
Use the base form of the verb, or the infinitive without “to” to form the imperative.
The negative is formed by placing “do not” or “don’t” in front of the verb.
Here are more examples:
Watch your step.
Come here, please.
Dance with me.
Don’t touch that.
Don’t be silly.
You can add “please” to be more polite and make a request.
Please bring me that book.
Now you practice. Fill in the correct command or imperative form of the verb for each sentence. Good Luck!
And what are you waiting for… 🙂
