Grammar—Imperative Verbs
Recap: verbs are action words that describe what someone is doing e.g. run,
jump and talk. When we write instructions, such as recipes, we have to use
imperative (bossy) verbs. These words command us to complete an action.
e.g. Put it away. Do your work. Give me the book. Push the button.
Task 1: Complete the sentences by adding an imperative verb
(use the box provided to help you). Try to say each word in the sentence
to see if it makes sense.

Revolting RecipesRevolting Recipes
Roald Dahl has a book called Revolting Recipes! This week
we have read and written recipes. Today, we would like you
to write your own revolting recipe - it can be as funny or
disgusting as you choose!
Here are some ideas to help you:
You could edit a real recipe but make it sound disgusting (even though
it would be tasty) such as saying worms instead of spaghetti.
You could choose 2 (or more) main ingredients that really would not
taste nice together. E.g. bubblegum pasta or Brussels sprout cake.
You could create ingredients that are funny words just like Roald Dahl
did! His include: snozzcumbers, slobbages, fizzwinkles, frobscottle and
pishlets.
You could use imperative verbs that are funny or disgusting in your
recipe! E.g. squish, mash, plunge, wallop, pulp and crush.
Choose a funny title for your recipe. Some of Roald Dahl’s silly recipe
names were: Grobswitchy Cake, Fresh Mudburgers, Glumptious
Globgobblers and Whipple-Scumptious Fudgemallow Delight!
