Finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an 'order' in English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For example:
In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We just use 'tell' instead of 'ask':
Direct Order | Reported Order |
---|---|
“Go to bed!” | He told the child to go to bed. |
“Don’t worry!” | He told her not to worry. |
“Be on time!” | He told me to be on time. |
“Don’t smoke!” | He told us not to smoke. |
