imperative
의미: A verb mood used to give commands, instructions, or requests, typically using the base form of the verb without a stated subject, as in 'Sit down' or 'Please close the door.'
The imperative is the simplest verb form in English, identical to the bare infinitive. It can range in tone from polite requests to urgent commands depending on context and accompanying words like 'please.' Outside grammar, 'imperative' also functions as an adjective meaning vitally important or urgent, as in 'it is imperative that we act now.'
