Direct Speech

Direct speech refers to the actual words someone said, written in quotes, keeping the original speaker's exact words.

Reported speech carries the same information but rephrases the original statement, shifting tenses and pronouns.

reported orders

An order is when somebody tells you to do something and you have no choice. It is not usually polite. It is a "command". Reported orders are one form of reported speech. We usually introduce reported orders with the verb "tell".

Examples:

She said, "Eat your food now!" She told the boy to eat his food right then. The policeman said: "Get out of your car!" The policeman instructed us to get out of our car. She said, "You must make the bed before you go to work!" She told her husband to make the bed before he went to work. The doctor said: "Don't smoke in here!" The doctor told them not to smoke in there.
