What is an imperative sentence about Alice Paul?

Answer 1

First, let's define "imperative sentence." That is a sentence that gives a command (tells someone to do something). If you want to have an imperative sentence about Alice Paul, she was a famous suffragist and advocate who fought for women's rights in the early 1900s; she died in 1977. But because she is no longer alive, you can't tell her what to do. However, you can create an imaginary dialogue, like in a short story.

For example, Alice Paul was around when radio was first invented. She had never been on the radio before. I can imagine a program manager at a radio station inviting her to speak on the air, and I can imagine a conversation they might have had. One program manager was Bertha Brainard at station WJZ in New York. So, she calls Alice Paul and invites her to speak, but Alice is reluctant. "Come to the studio tonight," Miss Brainard said. "You can get some practice and then give your talk." The imperative is "Come to the studio tonight"-- Bertha Brainard is telling Alice Paul to do something.
