The imperative

Excuse me. I’m looking for the wine section.

The wines are in aisle 7. Follow me, I’ll show you.

Yes, it is. I think it’s the biggest in this neighborhood.

Let me ask you one more thing. Where do I find cheese?

The cheese is in the dairy section, in aisle 14.

No, it’s okay. I’ll be here a minute choosing the wine.

No problem. If you need anything else, any store employee can help you.

By the way, our domestic wines are on   sale. There are some very good ones.

Good morning, Claire. Could you help me with the new copy machine?

There are so many places to put the   paper; I never know where it goes…

I need three pages. It’s the weekly financial report.

Ok. Put the three pages here…right. Now select the number of copies you need.

So, now you push ‘2’ and the ‘start’ button.

Excuse me. CouId you help me? I need directions   to the National Hotel, on Main St.

Sure. It’s not far from here. You can walk.

I know. I just came from there, but I don’t remember   the name of the street I took to get here.

It’s easy. Take this street and go straight ahead two blocks, then   make a right on Main St. You’ll see the hotel.

Just one more thing…do you have the time?

Excuse me, Ms. Morgan, I’m not sure I understand what I have to do…

Kenny, in this activity you have to find the adjectives in this text.

Do you remember what an adjective is, Kenny?

Sure! It’s a…it’s a…it’s like a description, isn’t it?

Well, in a way, yes. It gives quality to a noun.   For example, when you say ‘intelligent man’, what’s the adjective?

Very good, Kenny. Now find them in your text.

Could you help me with the new copy machine?
