The Imperative Sentence
An imperative sentence gives a direct command to someone -- this type of sentence can end either with a period or with an exclamation mark, depending on how forceful the command is:
Sit!
Read this book for tomorrow.
You should not usually use an exclamation mark with the word "please":
Wash the windows!
Please wash the windows.
Normally, you should not use imperative sentences in academic writing. When you do use an imperative sentence, it should usually contain only a mild command, and thus, end with a period:
Consider the Incas.

An Imperative sentence is a direct command to someone.
Give me a million dollars. Lick my toes. Clean my room.

Imperative Sentence Definition: A sentence that gives a command or an entreaty.
It always receives a period. The subject is understood to be (you) or (thou).
Example: Clean your room. Do the dishes. Come here.

It's a command that is not a question.
EX:
Can you please get the door for me?
