( giving Instructions)

Grammar. Instructions require the person receiving them to do something, or to

stop doing it.Instructions are directly adressed to the person who has to do them. Therefore,
instructions are one of the few types of English sentences that do not need a subject.
The subject is usually "you" (understood). If there is any doubt who should do the
instruction, the "naming" form – the vocative isused.
For example :
" Everyone, be quiet! Fred, (you) say that again."
(Notice that the first instruction is general, and the second instruction is just
for Fred.).
Instructions are gramatically the same as orders. However, their use is very
different.
Use
Orders do not give the person who receives them any choice - they should be obeyed. As aresult,
most people do not like receiving orders, and they may ask if the person giving them has
anyright to do this. If it is not obvious that they do, there may be a confrontation,
or the person giving theorders will get a repuation for being "bossy". (This is not
a good thing). Therefore orders are usuallygiven to children by their parents, pets
by their owners, and by soldiers to soldiers who are lessimportant.
For example :
" William, stop crying, now!"
"Fido, come here, boy."
"Sergeant, attack that hill."
