Be there

[Dharminder Singh]

Person 1 - I'm at the bus stop.
Person 2 - Be there.

Is the statement given by person 2 correct grammatically?

 

[Rover_KE]

It has no meaning in the context, so its grammaticality is moot.

What is person 2 trying to say?

What is person 2 trying to say?

Person 2 wants to meet person 1. He's on the way.

 

[Rover_KE]

In that case, he’d say ‘Stay there (I’m on my way)’.

In that case, he’d say ‘Stay there (I’m on my way)’.

Okay. Let's do another case.
Person 1 - How should I deal with my enemies?
Person 2 - Be cruel.

Is this okay to say?

 

[SoothingDave]

Yes. It's an imperative.
