Re: Is “Thank you” an Imperative Verb? No. It’s a shortened form of “I thank you”.

An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period but can, under certain circumstances, end with an exclamation point. Examples of this sentence type: “Please sit down.”

Imperative sentence example

1. It’s imperative to your success.
2. Water is imperative for survival.
3. It’s imperative to restrict everything that makes his stomach upset.
4. It’s imperative you see me at the earliest opportunity.
5. It was imperative that everyone understood the rules so that this would not happen again.

It is a complete sentence. Imperative sentences give a command. The subject of imperative sentences is actually understood to be you. A sentence must have a subject and a verb.

When we report an imperative sentence or a request, we usually use a to -infinitive structure: Mother: Put away your toys, Johnny. Johnny’s mother told him to put away his toys. Teacher: Everybody, please stand up.

As imperative sentences have a command (or an order), a request, an advice or a suggestion, to change them into Indirect Speech, some specific verbs (i.e. requested, order, advised, forbade, suggested) replace the verbs (e.g. said, told) of reporting verb.

Reported Orders, Commands and Requests are formed using the to-infinitive and not to-infinitive. The reporting verbs for the orders/ commands/ requests are: order, shout, demand, warn, beg, command, tell, insist, beseech, threaten, implore, ask, propose, forbid…

As verbs the difference between request and command is that request is to express the need or desire for while command is to order, give orders; to compel or direct with authority.

A request is when somebody asks you to do something – usually politely. Reported requests are one form of reported speech. direct request. reported request.

Request means asking someone if they can help. An example: Hey can you get up and help me clean. While a command is someone telling you to do something. An Example: Your parent telling you to go clean up.

Here are some better phrases to make polite requests in English:

1. “Do you mind…?.”
2. “Would you mind…?
3. “Could I…?”
4. “Would it be ok if…?”
5. “Would it be possible…?”
6. “Would you be willing to…?”

The IS command discards leading and trailing blank spaces in the terminal input and converts embedded blank spaces to single blank spaces. If the text includes embedded spaces, it is composed of multiple parameters.
