Imperatives

DIRECTIONS: Match each sentence to a picture. Add a verb to complete each imperative sentence.

✔ Answer Key:

3 1. Get a tissue.
*(Picture 3 shows someone sneezing — they need a tissue.)*

6 2. Wait here until it’s your turn.
*(Picture 6 shows someone raising their hand, waiting to be called.)*

2 3. Drive me to the airport.
*(Picture 2 shows a taxi driver — implies driving someone somewhere.)*

5 4. Look closely at this.
*(Picture 5 shows a person looking through a magnifying glass — “look closely” fits.)*

7 5. Paint my portrait.
*(Picture 7 shows an artist painting a portrait on an easel.)*

1 6. Raise your hand before you speak.
*(Picture 1 shows people standing in line or waiting — but more importantly, Picture 6 already matches “wait,” so we assign Picture 1 to “raise your hand.” Actually, wait — let’s double-check!)*

⚠️ Important Correction:

Looking again — Picture 6 clearly shows someone raising their hand. So that should match #6.

And Picture 1 shows people standing together — maybe waiting? But “wait here until it’s your turn” is better matched to Picture 6, since raising hand often means “I’m ready when it’s my turn.”

Let’s reassign logically:

- Picture 6 = raising hand → #6: Raise your hand before you speak.
- Picture 1 = people standing in line → #2: Wait here until it’s your turn.

✔ Revised Correct Matching:

3 1. Get a tissue.
*(Sneezing person needs tissue → Picture 3)*

1 2. Wait here until it’s your turn.
*(People standing in line → Picture 1)*

2 3. Drive me to the airport.
*(Taxi driver → Picture 2)*

5 4. Look closely at this.
*(Magnifying glass → Picture 5)*

7 5. Paint my portrait.
*(Artist painting → Picture 7)*

6 6. Raise your hand before you speak.
*(Person raising hand → Picture 6)*

4 7. Sing another song.
*(Person holding sheet music and singing → Picture 4)*

8 8. Return those books to the library.
*(Girl holding books → Picture 8)*

📌 Explanation:

An imperative sentence gives a command or instruction. It usually starts with a verb (base form) and does not include a subject (you is implied).

We matched each picture to the most logical verb based on the action shown:

- Sneezing → need tissue → Get
- Standing in line → waiting → Wait
- Taxi driver → driving → Drive
- Magnifying glass → examining → Look
- Artist painting → creating art → Paint
- Raising hand → signaling → Raise
- Singing with music → performing → Sing
- Holding books → returning them → Return

This exercise helps students recognize actions and use appropriate imperative verbs to describe them.
