Editing Imperative mood (section)

===Latin===
{{Further|Latin syntax#The imperative mood}}
Latin regular imperatives include:

{| class="wikitable"
! [[infinitive]]
! 2nd person singular
! 2nd person plural
|-
| {{lang|la|amāre}} (to love)
| {{lang|la|amā}}
| {{lang|la|amāte}}
|-
| {{lang|la|monēre}} (to advise/warn)
| {{lang|la|monē}}
| {{lang|la|monēte}}
|-
| {{lang|la|audīre}} (to hear)
| {{lang|la|audī}}
| {{lang|la|audīte}}
|}

The negative imperative is formed with the infinitive of the verb, preceded by the imperative of {{lang|la|nōlle}} (to not want):

{| class="wikitable"
!
! negative imperative
! positive imperative
|-
! 2nd person singular
| {{lang|la|nōlī stāre}} (don't stand)
| {{lang|la|stā}} (stand)
|-
! 2nd person plural
| {{lang|la|nōlīte stāre}}
| {{lang|la|stāte}}
|}

For third-person imperatives, the subjunctive mood is used instead.

In Latin there is a peculiar tense in the imperative, which is the future tense that is used when you want the mandate to be fulfilled in the future. This tense is used mainly in laws, wills, precepts, etc. However, it is conjugated only with the third and second person singular and plural which carries as a [[gramme]] or ending {{lang|la|-tō}} for the second and third person singular, {{lang|la|-tōte}} for the second person plural and {{lang|la|-ntō}} for the third person plural. On the other hand, in other languages of the world there is a distinctive imperative, which also has a future value, but with a previous meaning and this is the so-called [[past imperative]] that appears in the French and Greek languages as a point of reference. See [[Latin conjugation]].
