The type of speech act that we often use is Directive Illocutionary Act which occurs when we speak to get the listener to do something.

The results of the findings show that the Doctor Strange movie contains several types of directive speech acts, such as; Asking, Telling, Urging, Commanding, Requesting, Begging, Advising, Order, Permitting, Requiring and Demanding, Recommending, Forbidding, Prohibiting, and Warning.
