68 Grammar 5: the Imperative C è un unica forma dell imperativo nella lingua inglese: Listen to me = Mi ascolti, Ascoltami, Ascoltatemi Si usa la forma base del verbo: Run! Go! Stop! Per l imperativo negativo si usa don t: Don t waste time = Non perdere tempo Siccome non esistono le formule di cortesia, l imperativo inglese può suonare un po brusco. In una unità successiva vedremo le alternative più cortesi all imperativo. Comunque, in una ricetta di cucina, l uso dell imperativo è normale. And that is the end of Unit 14. Goodbye.
