Imperative Sentences /Las frases imperativas

2. El imperativo negativo

En inglés no se usa el imperativo tanto como en el español. En general, se usa para dar órdenes, instrucciones o advertencias. Las frases imperativas se construyen de manera diferente a las afirmativas: no se utiliza un sujeto porque se supone que el sujeto es siempre “you” y el verbo principal va en la forma infinitiva.

Verbo auxiliar (to do) + auxiliar negativo (not) + verbo + nombre, adjetivo…

Ejemplos:

• Do not lie to me! (¡No me mientas!)
• Do not wash in the washing machine.

(No lo lave en la lavadora.)

• Don’t hit your sister!

(¡No le pegues a tu hermana!)
