Giving Instruction
Giving instruction is an expression that is used in order that other person does what we instruct or request.

So, what the different between request and instruction????

1. Request
Request are often question, thougt inderect request may not be. Sometimes an instruction is Changed into a request by the additon of “please” or a question tag. To make a request more polite we might use the subjunctive form of the verb. Very often English request are inderect. Instead of asking someone to do something, the speaker asks if the person is able to do it. Therefore modals of ability (“can”, “may”,etc) are very often used.
EXAMPLE :
Come here, please!
Can I take this seat?
Could I take this seat?
Pass the salt, would you?
Stand up, please!
Be quite, please!

2. Instruction (also called imperatives)
Instruction require the person receiving them to do something, or to stop doping it. Instruction are directly addressed to the person who has to do them. Therefore, instruction are one of the few types of English sentences that do not need a subject. The subject is usually “you” (understood). If Three is any doubt who should do the instructin, the “naming” form-the vocative is used.

The tense used in giving instruction is “SIMPLE PRESENT”
Formula : # Verb 1 + Object
# Be
# Do not or don’t

EXAMPLE :
Sweep the floor!
Write the sentece!
Open you book!
Open the door!
