Giving Instructions

Before you begin writing your examinations, your invigilator always gives you a set of instructions. So, what are  instructions? An instruction is a set of commands. A command is always supposed to be followed. Students are supposed to attempt their papers based on the instruction given by the teacher. If the teacher says to write in black pen – that becomes an instruction. However, if the teacher says – you can write in black or blue pen – that’s a choice. 

Key Takeaways

• Instructions are always given in the simple present tense.
• Instructions that you give should be clear and easy to understand.
