#23 The imperative

Imperative in Hebrew: Often the 'real' imperative of our language sounds archaic to us, so we use the future instead. Here's a short manual to the Hebrew imperative. Paal verbs - usually in 'real' imperative ("Dog verbs"):קוּם כבר!בּוֹא הנה!לֵךְ מפה!שְבוּ בבקשה.תֵּן לי יד. For the rest of the binyanim (verb formats), we usually use the future instead:תְּלַמֵּד אותי להגיד משהו באנגליתתִּתְקַדְּמוּ בבקשה!תַּרְגִיש טוב!תִּיכַּנְסִי בבקשה! Negating the imperative: Just put 'al' before the future.אָל תְּסַפֵּר לִי.אָל תָּבוֹאִי.
