All sentences above are called "Prohibition" because they describe how to forbide someone else to do something. So, it differs from the command expression which asks someone else to do something. There are two kinds of pattern in this lesson, they are:
Prohibition,
and
Verbal prohibition is a sentence of prohibition which uses lexical-meaning-verb inside. To express the prohibition we should combine the word /do not/ or /don't/ before the verb.
For examples:
Don't lie to Don't blame me! Don't try to touch Don't stop trying! Don't make yourself stupid!
me! me!
Nominal prohibition is a sentence of prohibition which uses /BE/ after /Do not/ or /don't/. after that you have to place a complement in the end.
For examples:
be be be be be a
To make them more polite, place the word /please/ in the beginning or in the end of the sentence.
go!
liar!
Those patterns are the fixed rule that should be obeyed as a pure pattern in English. Besides, you can also express the prohibition by using /no/ instead of /don't/ or /do not/. Then, change the verb into -ing form verb (Here, the ing-form is called "Gerund" which will be posted in this blog as soon as possible).
To express heavy prohibition you can also use the word /musn't/ in a simple sentence.
For examples:
linda!
Take notice that all sentences will be said or called like that when the sentence contains, at least, one subject and one verb. what about the command or prohibition? Let me explain you that command or prohibition expressions have a subject, that is, /YOU/. For examples:
All commands or prohibitions use the subject /you/. It is impossible to forbide or ask someone to do something when the subject is not /you/. They come here! or, She don't take him away!
Because the subject of command or prohibition is always /you/. The subject is understandable or understood in usage. For this, /you/ is omitted. However, when the omission is set, and when someone uses /you/ in the command or prohibition, the use or /you/ creates an emphasized command or urgent prohibition. ADDITION:
