We use imperative clauses when we want to tell someone to do something (most commonly for advice, suggestions, requests, commands, orders or instructions).
We can use them to tell people to do or not to do things. They usually don’t have a subject – they are addressed to the listener or listeners, who the speaker understands to be the subject. We use the base form of the verb:
Have fun.
Enjoy your meal.
Stop talking and open your books.
Don’t be late.

Warning:
 We use the imperative carefully. It is a very direct form and we don’t generally use it to
make requests or commands or to give instructions.
We can use justplease or if you wouldn’t mind to make an imperative sound less direct:
Open the window a little more, please, if you wouldn’t mind.

Imperatives with let (let’s)

We use let to form first person and third person imperatives.

First person

Let me see. What should I do?
Let’s start at nine-thirty tomorrow, please. Okay?


Negative imperatives

To make negative imperatives, we use the auxiliary do + not + the infinitive without to. The full form do not, is rather formal. In speaking, we usually use don’t:
[a public notice]
Do not use the lift in the event of fire.
Don’t tell anyone that I was here.
