Приказания и просьбы в косвенной речи

1. Приказания и просьбы в косвенной речи вводятся глаголами to tell - велеть, сказать, приказывать, to order - приказывать, to ask – (по) просить.

Следует помнить, что за глаголами to tell, to ask, to order всегда следует косвенное дополнение, к которому относится просьба или приказание. Если предложение, вводящее прямую речь, не содержит косвенного дополнения, то вводится личное местоимение, обусловленное контекстом.

She said, "Don't book tickets for the theatre for next Friday." She asked me not to book tickets for the theatre for the following Friday.

Note: Глагол to order употребляется сравнительно редко, так как он очень категоричен.

2. Глагол в повелительном наклонении заменяется инфинитивом. Отрицательная форма инфинитива образуется путем прибавления отрицания not (to go - not to go).

3. Указательные местоимения, наречия времени и места заменяются в соответствии с правилами согласования времен.
