When we want to report an order or request, we can use a verb like 'tell' with a to-clause:
"Go away"
He told me to go away.
The pattern is verb + indirect object + to-clause.
"Don't move"
He told me not to move.
The indirect object is the person spoken to.
Other verbs used to report orders and requests in this way are: command, order, warn, ask, advise, invite, beg, teach, & forbid.
Your turn!
He told me to look at that. He told me not to look over there.
He said: "let's go for it"
He suggested going for it
He suggested that we go for it
He said:"Let's not play tennis this afternoon"
He suggested not playing tennis that afternoon
He suggested that they not play tennis that afternoon
