An imperative sentence expresses a command, request, or instruction and usually begins with a verb. It directly addresses someone and often ends with a period or an exclamation mark. The sentence “Open the door.” is a perfect example of this type because it gives a direct order to someone.

  • Imperative sentences generally start with a base form of the verb such as Go, Sit, Read, Write, etc., and the subject “you” is understood though not mentioned.

  • The main purpose of such sentences is to command, request, advise, or give instructions.

  • For example: Please take your seat, Don’t make noise, Turn off the light.

  • In the given sentence, “Open” is the verb that commands the listener to perform an action — opening the door.

  • The structure is simple: Verb + Object, where the subject is implied (You open the door).

  • It may also carry a polite tone depending on context, such as Please open the door — still imperative but softened.

  • Imperative sentences can end with a period (.) when calm or polite, or with an exclamation mark (!) when expressing strong emotion or urgency.

Now let’s see why the other options are not imperative:

  • “Where do you live?” is an interrogative sentence because it asks a question and ends with a question mark.

  • “What a match?” is an exclamatory sentence expressing strong feeling or admiration.

  • “Nothing will make him repent.” is a declarative sentence as it states a fact or opinion.

Hence, among the given options, only “Open the door.” is an imperative sentence, as it clearly gives a command or order to the listener.
