Imperative sentences in Croatian grammar are used to give commands or make requests. The imperative mood is formed by using the verb stem and adding specific endings. Croatian imperative sentences have two forms, singular and plural, depending on who the command is addressed to. It is common for the subject pronoun to be omitted from the sentence, as the verb form itself indicates the intended meaning. In these exercises, you’ll practice identifying and forming imperative sentences in Croatian, using a variety of verbs and sentence structures.
