Directive and Command Words
Command or directive words are the "instructions" built into every essay & exam question. They tell whether you should describe, explain, analyse, discuss, or critically evaluate a topic.

Understanding the difference is essential because each one demands a specific type of response. This guide will help you identify the different kinds of words and the expectations of their use.
