Passive question

[medoos]

"He should have carried what i ordered him to do "

what is the passive from this sentence .

i think it is :

"What i ordered him to do should have been carried by him"

is not that correct ?

thanks in advance

I'm not a teacher, but here is my take on it.
Your meaning is unclear here.

If you ordered him to do it and it wasn't done,
the passive is sort of understood here, I would think.

What I ordered him to do should have been done. (by him)


if some other action occurred with the order, you should expand on that in the sentence.
For example,
What I ordered him to do should have been done by him, instead of by X, being cancelled, etc.

and what about the verb "carried"??

[buggles]

and what about the verb "carried"??

You're thinking of "carry out"

"He should have carried out what I ordered him to do "


"What I ordered him to do, should have been carried out by him"



If he "carries out" your orders, he obeys them and puts them into effect.
