Using "que" to start a sentence.

Using "que" to start a sentence.

I have a sentence in my book which reads "que pase el siguente" which means "let the next person come in" ,, Now I know that que is a conjunction and we can't grammatically start a sentence with que and whenever there is such a sentence there has to be some hidden implicit beginning which has been hidden to shorten the sentence. Example : "ojala que", "espero que", "te he dicho" etc. Now I am confused about what the implicit beginning of this sentence might be .. CAN ANY ONE HELP PLEASE smile .. Thanks

Somehow, you have to figure it out. Check your book. If a nurse said it, the beginning should be: Quiero que pase el siguiente or necesito que pase el siguiente (cliente). Think about what the person who said it, wanted or needed. example: Yo quiero que seas feliz, or Que seas feliz. Quiero que pase la siguiente (persona) or Que pase la siguiente persona.
