All boys will attend roll-call at 8 o’clock.

Above sentence is from a Korean dictionary, which says it can denote order or instruction. It’s not common to use the meaning when the subject is the third person, it says. Then if the subject is replaced by ‘she,’ can’t this sentence take the sense of order or instruction at all: ‘she will attend roll-call at 8 o’clock’?
