[li]Go Senators. [/li][li]God bless you.[/li]

the two sentences above are used frequently. Are they both in the imperative mood? Should there be a comma after the first word, then? Are you addressing or commanding? How would you describe these sentences?
[/td][/tr][tr][td][/td][/tr][tr][td][/td][/tr][tr][td] Response[/td][/tr][tr][td]They are both exhortations, a kind of command, and in both sentences, someone is addressed. In a brief utterance of this kind, however, the comma is frequently omitted and the sentence is read without pause. You wouldn't have to add much to need the comma. \"Go forth, RedSox, and vanquish the Yankee enemy.\" or \"God, please bless Canada.\" If you created a banner with \"Go, Senators,\" it would never make it on television.
