The imperative mood expresses a command or request.
Only verbs in the second person can be in the imperative verbs. Imperfective imperative forms are produced from present stems. Singular forms have the ending [-a] ه, while plural forms are the same as the present subjunctive forms. Perfective forms of the imperative have the same endings as the present subjunctive mood. (See Subjunctive Mood.)
