Re: correct sentence

Say:

I will be there in ten minutes.

I don't think you can put "Please sit" in the passive voice.

Is this sentence correct? "I am coming after ten minutes."

[STRIKE]and[/STRIKE] Also, what is the passive form [STRIKE]for[/STRIKE] of "please sit"?

Note my corrections above. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".

You can say "I will be there in ten minutes" or "I will be coming in ten minutes".

There is no passive form of "Please sit" - that is an imperative, not an active sentence and there is no direct object. You can only turn an active sentence with a transitive verb into the passive.

I fed the cat.
The cat was fed by me.

He stole the bag.
The bag was stolen by him.

"Please be seated." could be what you are looking for, but it is not the passive form of "Please sit."
