The Infinitive-Non-Finite form of the Verb

The Imperative Mood
The Imperative Mood is used to give commands, requests, or instructions. It is often used to convey a sense of urgency or directness.
The Subjunctive Mood

The Sequence of Tenses
The Sequence of tenses refers to the relationship between the tenses in a sentence, particularly when there are multiple clauses with different tenses. The basic principle behind the sequence of tenses is that the tense used in a subordinate clause (a clause that depends on or is part of another clause) is influenced by the tense used in the main clause.
