Imperative

The word Imperative is the grammatical term to refer to the type of sentence where you are telling someone to do something. The following are all examples of the imperative in English:
"Please, sit down."
"Shut up and leave me alone!"
"Put the kettle on."

* My sheep - يا غنماتي
* I am the Wind أنا الهواء
