Editing Imperative mood (section)

====Hebrew====
In [[classical Hebrew]], there is a form for positive imperative. It exists for singular and plural, masculine and feminine second-person. The imperative conjugations look like shortages of the future ones. However, in modern Hebrew, the future tense is often used in its place in colloquial speech, and the proper imperative form is considered formal or of higher [[Register (sociolinguistics)|register]].

The negative imperative in those languages is more complicated. In modern Hebrew, for instance, it contains a synonym of the word "no", that is used only in negative imperative ({{lang|he|אַל}}), and is followed by the future tense.
