Voice Change of Imperative Sentences

Today we shall learn how to change the voice of Imperative sentences.


Rule 1 :   imperative sentences  begin with principle Verb

Example :   Active :    Close the window.

                 Passive  :  Let          the window              be          closed.
                 Position :   1                 2                           3             4



Discussion of the answer :     Position 1 :        At first we should  write " Let
                                               Position  2:         in this position we should put the object
                                               position  3 :        We should put  "be"
                                               position  4 :         We should write the past participle form of the verb.



Rule 2 :  Imperative Sentences begin with   "do not"

Example :          Active :                    Do not close the window.
                          Passive :                  Let not the window be closed.

Discussion of the answer :    Position 1 :        At first we should  write " Let not"
                                               Position  2:         in this position we should put the object
                                                position  3 :        We should put  "be"

                                                  position  4 :         We should write the past participle form of the verb.


Rule  3 :   Imperative sentences  begin with     ' Let + object"

Example :                    Active :               Let him finish the work.
                                    Passive :              Let the work be finished by him.


Discussion of the answer :   This rule is just same to above two rules but we have to write   by +                                                      object that is given just after       "let'



Rule 4 :               Imperative sentences with             " Please/ kindly '

Example :               Active :              please/kindly  help the poor.
                               Passive :             You are  requested to help the poor.


Discussion of the answer :  Here we should use  "You are requested" just instead of Please/ kindly
                                             then we should use to and after that the rest part of the given sentence.

Rule 5 :     Imperative sentences    "  Principle Verb + object "

 Example :            Active :          Buy me a pen.     
                             passive :         Let a pen be bought for me.

  Discussion of the answer :  Here we have to use for before the object given after principle verb of                                                the given sentence.


Rule 6 :   Imperative sentence  with no object.

Example :      Active :             Go home
                      Passive :           you are told to go home.

 Discussion of the answer :  If we can not understand  clearly about the given sentence that whether it                                              is  advise/ order etc then we should use told.
