How do we form it – Reported orders/requests/advice

We use the verb advise/ask/tell/order/warn + pronoun/noun + infinitive.

Examples:

    • ‘Get out of the car!’ said the policeman.

The policeman ordered him to get out of the car.

    • ‘Don’t do that!’, she warned him.

She warned him not to do that.

  • ‘Pass me the sugar, please’, she asked me.
  • She asked me to pass her the sugar.

Notice: We leave out please, would you mind, exclamation mark, etc.

Remember to change: the pronouns and possessive adjectives according to the context.

‘Don’t be late, please', she told him.
