In this English grammar lesson, I show you the many uses for imperatives. If you ever wanted to know how to give clear commands or directions to someone, or even how to make a request, this lesson will help you.
I took the quiz and got 100 points!
Nice lesson. I’ve seen all of your videos. They are very interesting and easy to understand. Thank you. They help me review, and expand my knowledge of the English language. Thanks again,

Dear sir,
I am watching your lecture vedio last three days. It is wonderful I like very much. now, I have a problem in the following sentenses
Where are you come from?
and
Where have you come from?
It is chelange between me and my father. Please which one is correct. thank you.
arifoo
“Where have you come from?” is correct. The first sentence is grammatically incorrect. Another simpler way of asking what I think you’re asking is to say, “Where are you from?”
Alex
“Where have you come from” may be grammatically correct but clearly not what this person is trying to say.
David Kelly
It is so helpful , and clear to understand . I am so glad to be here , and I will probably come here again and again .
