Imperative sentences request or demand an action and are used to issue orders, commands, or requests. The subject is often omitted and understood to be "you". Imperatives can be softened by using "please", adding a tag question like "will you?", using an interrogative form like "will you do this?", or using an inclusive form with "let's" to include the speaker.
