Question

Quick darling, hide in the wardrobe. (Passive Voice) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the passive voice, the sentence would be:

Quick darling, you are ordered to hide in the wardrobe.

Explanation:

The difficulty of transforming the sentence "Quick darling, hide in the wardrobe" lies in the fact that it is an imperative sentence. Imperative sentences have a very specific way to be converted into the passive voice. When the verb used in the sentence has an object, we can make the passive voice with the help of "let" and "be". For example:

- Hide it in the closet. --> Let it be hidden in the closet.

In the example above, the object is "it". However, in the sentence we were asked to change, there is no object. The person is supposed to hide him/herself in the wardrobe. In that case, we can begin the passive voice with phrases such as "you are ordered" or "you are advised":

- Quick darling, hide in the wardrobe. --> Quick darling, you are ordered to hide in the wardrobe.
