Understanding the Imperative Category of the Verb in German Language
Keywords:
German Language, EducationalAbstract
In German, imperatives are usually followed by an exclamation mark, when giving orders and instructions. However, they do not require an exclamation mark if they are not being used to give an order or instruction. For example, they can also be used where we might say Can you… or Could you … in English.
