Question

Convert the sentence into one that is in the imperative mood expressing a command:

You are not supposed to step over that line.

• A. You must not step over that line.
• B. Stepping over that line is not allowed.
• C. Do not step over that line.
• D. You should not have stepped over that line.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Do not step over that line.

Option C is correct. The sentence is in the imperative mood and it gives a command to the subject.

Options A, B and D are not commands. They are not even in the imperative mood. They do not give advice, nor do they make requests. They are instead, only statements.
