Please look at the picture:



How to say it in Imperative?

"Turn it to (the) other side" ?
"Turn it to (the) other direction" ?
".. other way" ?
"..???"

My english is so poor ((

This picture is just an illustration. I mean... for example, there are two chairs, placed identically, and we need to turn (rotate) one of them so that its position (direction) becomes different from the position of the first chair...

It's not important to rotate it to the left or to the right, 45 degrees or 90... It's only important that the chair#2 stands differently from the chair#1.

And i need to say it in the Imperative mood.

I hope you understand me :oops:

I mean... If I don't care how you rotate it (left/right/45 degrees/5/90/...), if I just want you to turn it differently from the chair#1, how should i say it?

Reposition the chair; rotate the chair; move the chair.

Hi MM

Can we RECLINE our chair? For example:

Please stop reclining your chair.

Thanks,

It sounds odd. 'Stop leaning back in your chair' is a common remark of a parent.
