Welcome to English A1 Grammar & Vocabulary #020.

Topic: Imperative verbs for classroom actions
Goal: Learn simple action words for giving short instructions in class.

Quick review from previous lessons:
- We already learned simple vocabulary for describing things and talking about what is present in a place.
- We also practiced short, useful English patterns for everyday communication.
- Today we add classroom instructions: words you hear from a teacher or use with a friend.

New words:
1) sit — reading: sit — meaning: be seated
Example: Sit here.
Usage note: Use sit to tell someone to take a seat.
2) stand — reading: stand — meaning: be standing
Example: Stand up.
Usage note: Use stand to tell someone to rise to their feet.
3) wait — reading: weit — meaning: stay and not move yet
Example: Wait a moment.
Usage note: Use wait when you want someone to pause for a short time.
4) look — reading: luk — meaning: use your eyes
Example: Look at the board.
Usage note: Use look to ask someone to direct their eyes to something.
5) listen — reading: lis-n — meaning: hear carefully
Example: Listen to me.
Usage note: Use listen when you want someone to pay attention to sound or speech.

Example sentences:
1) Sit down, please. — reading: sit daun, pliz — meaning: Please take a seat.
2) Stand up, please. — reading: stand ap, pliz — meaning: Please rise to your feet.
3) Wait for me. — reading: weit for mi — meaning: Stay and wait for me.
4) Look at the picture. — reading: luk at dhe pik-cher — meaning: Direct your eyes to the picture.
5) Listen to the teacher. — reading: lis-n tu dhe ti-cher — meaning: Pay attention to the teacher.

Usage notes:
- Imperative verbs often start a sentence with the verb: Sit, Stand, Wait, Look, Listen.
- They are common in classrooms, instructions, and simple requests.
- Adding please makes the instruction more polite.
- These verbs are short and direct, so they are easy to understand.

Mini practice:
1) Choose the best word: ___ up.
2) Choose the best word: ___ a moment.
3) Choose the best word: ___ to me.
4) Choose the best word: ___ here.
5) Choose the best word: ___ at the board.
