Reported Commands and Requests

Just like with the Reported Speech, we can repeat or report what someone else ASKS or ORDERS.

We use verbs like ASK for requests, and TELL and SAY for commands (orders), but there are many others, like WARN, ADVISE, etc.

If you use ASK, WARN, ADVISE, and TELL, you need to include an object. If you use SAY that's not necessary.

Reported orders, commands and requests are formed using the to-infinitive and not to-infinitive.
