Passive Voice of Imparatives

A sentence that issues a request or gives a command or expresses a desire or wish is
called an Imperative sentence.
Imperative sentences are addressed without naming the subject. Hence these
sentences are without Subject and starts with the Principal Verb.

sentences have different types of emotions - Order, Command, Request, Suggestion

and Advise. In Passive Voice of Imperative Sentence, we use different wordings with
the Subject as per the emotions of the sentence.

For making Passive Voice, Imperative Sentences are of the following types:

Sentences Containing Command

Sentences Containing Order
Sentences Containing Request
Sentences Containing Advice
