English Language & Usage Asked on December 29, 2020
I’m wondering if there is a specific word that refers to a "tone of command." I’m putting it in double quotations because in my native language (Korean) we have a specific word called "myung-nyung-jo" (for some reason the website won’t let me write Korean) which literally translates to "commanding tone" but I can’t think of anything in English.
I initially thought that it may be related to causative verbs, but that doesn’t seem accurate as well. For example:
- Could you find my glasses for me?
- Find my glasses for me.
The second sentence would be the type of sentence I’m interested in. Thanks.
The second sentence is in the imperative mood.
