The imperative or command tense verb is always used in the second person. Therefore each verb can occur in all these forms:
| Pronoun | Imperative | Gender |
| You = أنتَ | اُكّتُبْ | M |
| You = أنتِ | اُكْتُبِي | F |
| You = أنتما | اُكْتُبَا | M & F |
| You = أنتم | اُكْتُبُوا | M |
| You = أنتنَّ | اُكْتُبْـنَ | F |
