REPORTED SPEECH: COMMANDS

 A COMAND IS AN ORDER


In english we give orders using the base form of the verb , and it is the only time we don't use a subject.

Teachers and parents are used to giving orders. The government too.

Stop complaining. Don't bounce. Tidy your room. Stay at home

You need to introduce a verb that indicates the command immediately followed by

 to + infinitive 

 if negative

 not +to +infinitive

My mom told me to stop complaining

She told me not to bounce
