It is imperative that you pass the test before going on to the next level! It is imperative that I speak to you about this matter. Imperative refers to a compulsory matter. Hope this helps.

As a sentence type, an imperative is a command, i.e "Sit down. Shut the door. Be quiet"
As a noun, it means a command, order, rule, or guide. Something that is a must, a necessity.
It is imperative that you buy a dictionary to look up words!
