Material Summary
A. Instruction Expression
In this part, we will learn about instruction expression and imperative sentences as follows.
1. Giving Instruction
Giving Instruction is an expression that is used in order that other person does what we instruct or
request. Instruction (also called imperatives), require the person receiving them to do something, or to
stop doing it.
a. Asking for Instructions

negative. Positive imperatives use affirmative verbs in addressing the subject; negatives do the opposite.

Positive : Keep both hands on the steering wheel while you’re driving.
Negative: Don’t operate the lawn mower without wearing safety goggles.
Adding the words “do” or “just” to the beginning of the sentence, or the word “please” to the
conclusion— called softening the imperative makes imperative sentences more polite or conversational.

Hi, my name is Beni. I’m 15 years old. I am blind. I have been blind since I was a baby. Blackie is my
best friend and he looks out for me, he helps me go anywhere, to school, to meet my friends or even
if I just want to have a walk. Blackie is a little different from your usual friends, he has four legs and
a tail. He is my guide dog. He can do so many things to make my life easier. He can take me across
busy roads, he knows to wait at the traffic lights until I hear the loud beeping sound that tells me it’s
safe to cross. He walks slowly in front of me and he can avoid any obstacle on the path or at school.
He can lie quietly in class whi
le I am learning. All my friends love him but not as much as I do.
a. What does the text tell us about?
b. What can Blackie do?
