🎯 Part 1 - What is the Imperative Form?
The Imperative form is used when we want to tell someone to do something.
We commonly use it to give:
Instructions
Directions
Advice
Suggestions
Warnings
The basic structure: [Base verb + object / extra information]
Examples:
Chop the onions.
Add some olive oil.
Stir the soup gently.
Serve immediately.
Notice that we use the base form of the verb without 'to'.
Infinitive | Imperative |
To chop | Chop the onions. |
To peel | Peel the carrots. |
To add | Add the chicken. |
To stir | Stir the soup. |
To serve | Serve hot. |
❗️Important grammar note:
The subject 'you' is understood, so we usually leave it out.
For example:
(You) Chop the onions.
(You) Add the stock.
(You) Serve immediately.
A. Positive Imperatives – Tell someone what to do
Use the base form of the verb.
Purpose | Example |
Instruction | Dice the carrots. |
Direction | Pour the stock into the pot. |
Advice | Cook the noodles separately. |
Suggestion | Add some fresh parsley. |
Warning | Be careful with the hot pan! |
B. Negative Imperatives – Tell someone what NOT to do
Structure: [Don't + base verb]
Example | Purpose |
Don't overcook the chicken. | Advice |
Don't add too much salt. | Advice |
Don't touch the hot pan. | Warning |
Don't forget to stir the soup. | Reminder |
We can also use [Never + base verb] for stronger warnings.
Example: Never leave hot oil unattended.
C. Imperatives with LET – Make suggestions or instructions
We can use let's (let us) to make suggestions involving ourselves and other people.
Structure:
[Let's + base verb]
Let's prepare the ingredients.
Let's make some chicken soup.
Let's serve the soup with crusty bread.
We also use let in instructions:
Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.
Let the chicken cool before cutting it.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Notice the difference:
Expression | Meaning |
Let's simmer the soup. | A suggestion: you and I should do it. |
Let the soup simmer. | Allow the soup to cook gently. |
Don't let the soup boil. | Prevent the soup from boiling. |
Remember:
[Let + object + base verb] is used when allowing or instructing something to happen.

You can use:
Vermicelli noodles.
Angel hair pasta.
Thin spaghetti broken into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Choose a thin noodle that cooks relatively quickly. Follow the cooking time on the packet.

🎯 Vocabulary Spotlight: Look out for the adjectives!
Can you identify the words that describe the ingredients?
Extra virgin olive oil
Sweet onion
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Diced carrots
Crushed thyme
Ground nutmeg
Freshly grated Parmesan
These descriptions help us understand the type, condition or preparation of the ingredients.
Cooking Tips: How to Make a Better-Tasting Soup
👉TIP 1: Cook the Fideo separately.
For best results, cook the Fideo separately before adding it to the soup.
Why?
You won't release as much excess starch into the soup.
The noodles are less likely to become too soft and mushy.
The soup will keep better when stored as leftovers if the noodles are kept separately.
👉 TIP 2: Add more flavour to your noodles.
Cook the Fideo in chicken stock instead of plain water.
This gives the noodles a richer flavour.
👉 TIP 3: Choose your chicken wisely.
You can use economical boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
However, trim away any excess fat before cooking.
👉 TIP 4: Don't overcook the noodles!
Cook the Fideo until al dente. It should be slightly firm when bitten.
