Bài tập commands requests and advice in reported speech violet năm 2024

When we want to report an order or request, we can use a verb like 'tell' with a to-clause: He told me to go away. The pattern is verb + indirect object + to-clause. 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.

Examples

Direct speech Indirect speech The doctor said to me, "Stop smoking!". The doctor told me to stop smoking. "Get out of the car!" said the policeman. The policeman ordered him to get out of the car. "Could you please be quiet," she said. She asked me to be quiet. The man with the gun said to us, "Don't move!" The man with the gun warned us not to move.

Requests for objects

Requests for objects are reported using the pattern "asked for" + object.

Examples

Direct speech Indirect speech "Can I have an apple?", she asked. She asked for an apple. "Can I have the newspaper, please?" He asked for the newspaper. "May I have a glass of water?" he said. He asked for a glass of water. "Sugar, please." She asked for the sugar. "Could I have three kilos of onions?" He asked for three kilos of onions.

Suggestions

Suggestions are most often reported using the verbs suggest, insist, recommend, demand, request, and propose followed by a that clause. 'That' and 'should' are optional in these clauses, as shown in the first two examples below. Note that suggest, recommend, and propose may also be followed by a gerund in order to eliminate the indirect object (the receiver of the suggestion) and thus make the suggestion more polite. This usage of the gerund is illustrated in the fourth and fifth examples below.
