Haven’t we learned imperatives?
nSure, informally, but not formally in the text.
nPositive imperatives are formed from the infinitive by dropping the -re:
spectāre > spectā! (look!)
nNegative imperatives are formed with nōlī plus the infinitive:
nōlī (tempus) terere! (Don’t waste
time!)
nListen to and practice
the imperatives I use in class now so
that they will seem very easy when used in the text.
