Instructions

The imperative is formed by using the verb [the action word] first. Instead of writing '**You need to turn** left at the Post office' When you write instructions you would write '**Turn** left at the post office.'
 * When you see instructions on signs, or in recipes or DIY manuals they are usually written using the **imperative**.
