Can you show me an example of a command sentence in English?

Absolutely, a command sentence in English could be "Please close the door." This sentence is instructing or commanding someone to do something specifically, which is to close the door. Now, delving deeper, command sentences, also known as imperative sentences, are used when you are telling, asking, or advising someone to do (or not do) something. For instance, "Don't touch the wet paint!" is an example of a negative command. Usually, these sentences start with a verb, and the subject of the sentence is often implied, not explicitly stated, as it's usually the person being addressed. However, for clarity or emphasis, you can include the subject at the beginning or end, like "Everyone, please take your seats." Command sentences often end with a period, but they can also end with an exclamation point for added emphasis or urgency.
