Editing Imperative mood (section)

==== English ====
English usually omits the subject pronoun in imperative sentences:
*You work hard. (indicative)
*Work hard! (imperative; subject pronoun ''you'' omitted)
However, it is possible to include the ''you'' in imperative sentences for emphasis.

English imperatives are negated using ''don't'' (as in "Don't work!") This is a case of [[do-support|''do''-support]] as found in indicative clauses; however in the imperative it applies even in the case of the verb ''be'' (which does not use ''do''-support in the indicative):
*You '''are not''' late. (indicative)
*'''Don't be''' late! (imperative)
It is also possible to use ''do''-support in affirmative imperatives, for emphasis or (sometimes) politeness: "Do be quiet!", "Do help yourself!".

The subject ''you'' may be included for emphasis in negated imperatives as well, following ''don't'': "Don't you dare do that again!"
