Key Points
- The given sentence is an imperative sentence which is used to give orders, commands, or instructions.
- In passive voice, we often use the structure "let + object + be + past participle" for imperative sentences.
- However, in this case, the correct form is to use "should be" to convey the necessity of the action being completed.
- Therefore, the correct passive form of "Pay that bill today." is "That bill should be paid today."
Hence, the correct passive voice is 'That bill should be paid today.'
Additional Information
- When converting imperative sentences into passive voice, the subject of the imperative verb becomes the object of the passive verb.
- For example,
- Close the door = Let the door be closed.
- However, not all imperative sentences follow this format, especially when conveying necessity or obligation.
- In such cases, using "should be" or "must be" is appropriate for passive constructions.
