Reported imperatives – Exercise 346

Skip

Reported requests & demands — reference

If we want to transform somebody's demand or request into reported speech, we use:

tell somebody to do something — for reported imperative (orders, demands)
ask somebody to do something — for reported requests

If the imperative was negative (don't go, don't do), we put "not" before the infinitive: tell somebody not to do something.
