Why practice Reported Commands & Requests exercises?
These Reported Commands & Requests exercises build your skills step by step. Start with the basic pattern — tell + object + to + infinitive ("Open the door!" → He told me to open the door) — then learn to report polite requests with ask. You'll master negative commands (not to), practise pronoun and demonstrative shifts (my → his, here → there), and expand your range with powerful reporting verbs like warn, advise, forbid, and encourage. The final set brings everything together and tests whether you can tell commands apart from statements and questions in reported speech.
