He ordered his servant not to stand there doing nothing = He said to the servant, "Don't stand there doing nothing!" He said to him, "why do u waste your time?" = He asked him why he wasted his time. She exclaimed with joy that she had won the match = She exclaimed with joy, "I've won the match!" The traveler said , "What a dark night?" = The traveler said what a dark night it was.

The servant was ordered not to stand there doing nothing. He was asked, "Why do you waste your time?" The exclamation that the match had been won by her was made. "What a dark night!" was said by the traveler. The above are examples of the passive voice of the verb, rather than the active. I am not sure if that is what you are looking for.
