Welcome

Please advise if "Welcome to the White House" an imperative sentence? Is that normal to say: "Welcome to here"'?
  

Top answer

"Welcome to the White House" is not an imperative. It is an idiomatic expression roughly equivalent to "[We / I] welcome you to the White House", which is a declarative sentence. The imperative would be something like "Welcome everyone to the White House", which means something like "Make everyone feel welcome when they come to the White House".
