Imperative

Imperative to Assertive

Method: Add "You should" or "You must" to the beginning of the sentence.

Imperative: Obey your elders.

Assertive: You should obey your elders. 

An imperative sentence can be transformed into an assertive one by adding a subject like "you should," using a phrase like "You are requested to," or by including a subject with a modal verb like "might" or "should".

For example, the imperative "Do the work" becomes the assertive "You should do the work," and the imperative "Please come in" becomes "You are requested to come in". 

Imperative Example	Assertive Transformation
Do the work.	You should do the work.
Please help me.	You are requested to help me.
Don't run in the sun.	You should not run in the sun.
Never tell a lie.	You should never tell a lie.
Let us go for a walk.	We should go for a walk.
Let him play football.	He might play football.
Help the poor.	You should help the poor.
Don't make noise.	You should not make noise.
Please come in.	You are requested to come in.

Imperative to declarative

Add the subject "You" (which is usually implied in imperative sentences).

Add a modal verb like "should".

Example: Open your books. Becomes You should open your books. 

An imperative sentence is a command or a request, while a declarative sentence makes a statement. To convert an imperative to a declarative sentence, rephrase the command or request as a statement about what was asked, such as changing

"Sit down" to "He sits over there" or

"Please close the door" to "The mother advised her children to close the door".

"Close the window."	"She closed the window."
"Please help your friend."	"She helped her friend."
"Do not smoke here."	"The sign says not to smoke here."
"Let's go for a walk."	"He said, 'Let us go out for a walk.'"
"Please take some rest."	"The mother advised her children to take some rest."
"Go to bed!"	"She went to bed."
"Remember to call me."	"I remembered to call her."
"Stop firing now."	"The invigilator asked them to stop firing."
