Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify the command verb (imperative) within a given sentence.

  • Convert a polite request into a direct command, and a positive command into its negative form.

  • Compose original command sentences using a supplied verb.

Teaching tips

  • Start with the underline-the-verb worksheet before the request-to-command conversion page, since identifying command verbs in context is a simpler task than transforming sentence structure.

  • Pair the negative-form worksheet with the original-command-writing worksheet in the same session, since both ask students to generate rather than just identify commands.

Skills covered

  • Command verb identification — students locate the imperative verb within a full sentence.

  • Sentence transformation — students convert polite requests into direct commands and positive commands into negative ones.

  • Original sentence composition — students write their own command sentences using a supplied verb.
