How to make a hortatory sentence

In Russian there are three types of offers which differ from each other on the statement purpose. These are narrative, interrogative and hortatory sentences. The last differ from other types in the fact that express will and motivate to act.

Instruction

1. If you need to order, to ask, to offer, to warn, resolve or wish, intonational coloring of the offer is important. Attempts to motivate the specific person or group of people to act are allocated or softly (council), or said pensively (desire), loudly and are more frightening (threat), command tone (order), etc. Therefore in attempt to make the offer on each of the examples given above, consider, first of all, the statement purpose.

2. How does the hortatory sentence in terms of grammar look? Put a predicate as a direct message to action in the offers expressing entreaty or desire, the role of a predicate is strengthened by special particles: "Yes the name Your is consecrated", "Let there will always be the sun".

3. If you want to express council, it is possible to use a verb of a subjunctive mood. For example, "You would change clothes". If there is a task to strengthen emotional coloring of the order or desire, use a word that. For example, "That to spirit of yours was not here!". It is in certain cases appropriate to use a verb in the form of an indicative mood, used in past or future tense. For example, "Let's talk about the main thing" or "Went!"

4. In mandative tone very often instead of a verb the infinitive is used. As a rule, on the letter the incentive tone of the offer with an infinitive is distinguished with the exclamation mark. For example, "Not to dare!", "to Set aside!", "to Stand!", "To fail!". The incentive tone can be heard in informal conversation in the offers made without verb of an imperative mood: "Following!", "Two steps forward!", "Turn!", "Stop!", "Doctors!". As an alternative to a verb of an incentive inclination use some interjections, for example, "Let's go to the forest!", "A march to the house!".
