Giving instructions is an expression that is used in order that other person does what we instruct or request.

When the commanding word is a verb, we use the infinitive without to
Examples:
 write the sentences
 sweep the floor
 wash the bed sheet
 take the medicine three times a day
 cover the food

If we don’t use a verb as a commanding word, we use be + adjective
Examples:
 be yourself
 be strong
 be a good student
 be happy
 be courageous

When we forbid someone to do something, we use don’t + verb infinitive without to
Examples:
 don’t climb
 don’t be cruel
 don’t be noisy
 don’t throw the garbage into the ditch
 don’t be lazy

We often put the word ‘please’ at the beginning or t the end of an instruction. We use it to make the instruction sounds more polite.
Examples:
 please sit down or sit down, please
 please don’t open the door or don’t open the door, please

Note: the tense used in giving instruction is simple present tense.
