====Imperative====

An imperative sentence gives anything from a command or order, to a request, a suggestion, directions, or instructions. Imperative sentences are a little more intentional than exclamatory sentences, and their aim is to get the person(s) being spoken to to either do or not do something (usually in direct relation to the speaker). An imperative can end in either a period or an exclamation point.

* ''After separating them from the yolks, beat the whites until they are light and fluffy.''
