Imperative in Hebrew: Often the 'real' imperative of our language sounds archaic to us, so we use the future instead. Here's a short manual to the Hebrew imperative.

Paal verbs - usually in 'real' imperative ("Dog verbs"):
קוּם כבר!
בּוֹא הנה!
לֵךְ מפה!
שְבוּ בבקשה.
תֵּן לי יד.

For the rest of the binyanim (verb formats), we usually use the future instead:
תְּלַמֵּד אותי להגיד משהו באנגלית
תִּתְקַדְּמוּ בבקשה!
תַּרְגִיש טוב!
תִּיכַּנְסִי בבקשה!

Negating the imperative: Just put 'al' before the future.
אָל תְּסַפֵּר לִי.
אָל תָּבוֹאִי.
