Beyond 'tell' and 'ask', English has many reporting verbs for commands and requests: order, warn, advise, remind, beg, forbid, encourage, invite, and urge. Each verb carries a different meaning and tone. They all follow the same pattern: verb + object + (not) to + infinitive. Choosing the right verb makes your reported speech more precise and natural.
