4TH ESO: Reporting orders and requests

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
