Dear kons,
I guess the passive form of this stce. is � you shouldn �t be seen by others, � bear in mind that there are some exceptions to the active-passive RULE. Also, some statements can �t be put in the passive.
Regards,
MARUAN A

Imperatives are , mainly, orders, so they can �t be Passive.
Just me me talking to myself.
Shut the window. ---- Let ( who ? ) the window be shut ( by whom ) . LOL
Stand up . Who ( ? someone ) You Did what? ( nothing ) What was done ( Nothing ) By whom ( no one ) .
Dizzling, never have thought about this, but , I �m waiting for more intelligent answers.
FOr me, Passive is always with some special verbs, with a direct or indirect objecct
Don �t let others see you.
So, here, what have we got. ????????????????
You aren �t let to be seen by others . LOLOLOLOL
I �m ready to sleep, this is much for me, I bet Imperative can �t be passive.
Past midnight and I am everything , but relaxed, I �ll check up all the answers, tomorrow, afternoon.
Sleep well, pinky dreams., offffffffffffffff

And, mind the step
Don�t let you BE SEEN.
WOW, this is a kind of a a damm trap

Olindalima, imperatives can be passive, if they are transitive (if they take objects). for example, Can �t you say "Don �t let me be caught." I think it �s pretty possible.
And I agree my other friends, "Don �t let yourself be seen" is a possible passive form, but in everyday usage, I �d prefer "Try not to be seen" or something like that. |
