Reported Speech - How to do it -3- commands

commands

If you have to transform a command in direct speech into reported/indirect speech, you have to change the same things as in a statement:
1. pronoun change
2. time-shift
3. time-words change

Most of the time you can build it with to and the infinitive.


positive command negative command
Mother: "Clean your room." Teacher. "Don't talk to Harry."
My mother told me to clean my room. The teacher told me not to talk to Harry.
