Объяснение:

An imperative is a command or instruction given to someone to do (or not do) something. In the examples provided, "Fly north" and "Swim in the river" are imperatives.

To make the negative form of an imperative, we add "don't" before the base verb. For example, "Don't fly north" and "Don't swim in the river" are negative imperatives.

Answer 2

Imperatives are a type of sentence that is used to give commands, make requests, or offer suggestions. They are typically used when you want to tell someone to do something or not to do something. Imperative sentences often begin with a verb in its base form (the infinitive form) and usually do not include a subject (though the subject "you" is often implied).

Here are the examples you provided:

1. "Fly north." - This is a positive imperative sentence, instructing someone to fly in a northward direction.

2. "Don't fly north." - This is the negative form of the imperative sentence. It tells someone not to fly in a northward direction.

3. "Swim in the river." - This is a positive imperative sentence, instructing someone to swim in the river.

4. "Don't swim in the river." - This is the negative form of the imperative sentence. It tells someone not to swim in the river.

In negative imperatives, you typically add "Don't" (a contraction of "do not") before the base form of the verb to indicate that the action should not be performed.
