sentences into imperative sentences, we remove the
subject ("You") and the introductory phrase ("I ask you
to," "You are advised to") and start the sentence directly with
the base form of the verb.

Would you like me to
show you how to use "Let" to form imperative
sentences when the subject is not "you" (for example, "Let us
go")?
Answer: Yes,
Since you are
interested in using "Let" for imperative
sentences, it is a great way to include people other than just the person you
are talking to.
The structure is: Let + Object Pronoun (us/him/her/them) + Base Verb.

*Please check the answer carefully, it may be mistakes.
To remove the "too...to" structure and replace it with "so...that," you follow this logic: replace
"too" with "so," then follow the adjective with
"that" + a subject + a negative verb (like cannot
for present tense or could not for past tense).

purchase a new shirt.

the opposite exercise—changing "so...that"
sentences back into the "too...to"
