2. commands and requests
A command is a sentence that orders someone to do something. It ends with a
period(.) or an exclamation mark(!)
Commands: A command is a sentence that is used to tell someone to do
something, or to give an order. Commands can end with a period, or with an
exclamation mark. If a command ends with an exclamation mark, it means that
the author is giving an order with strong emotion.
A request is a sentence that asks someone to do something. It ends with a
period (.) or a question mark(?).
Requests: A request is a sentence that is used to ask someone to do
something, or to give an order, nicely. Requests can end with a period,
question mark, or an exclamation mark. Requests often contain the word
please.

3. Reported commands & requests
Look
at these examples:
“Draw
me a sheep”, the little prince said.
The little prince told him to draw him a
sheep.
“Please draw me a sheep,” the little
prince said softly.
The little prince asked him to draw him a
sheep.

NB Use ‘tell’ with commands and ‘ask’ with requests

4. Example of command :

Here are two examples of commands:

1. Bring me the book. In this command, the author uses a period to show that she is
giving an order calmly.

2. Bring me the book! In this command, the author is using an exclamation mark to
show that he really wants the book, and that he doesn't want to wait for it. When
you read a command that ends in an exclamation mark aloud, you should read it
with very strong emotion.

3. Go to your school!

4. Call the police!

5. Open the door!

6. Close the window, right now!

7. Don't leave bags unattended!

5. Changes
As
you can see from the previous
examples, there is no tense change when
reporting commands and requests – the
verb changes into the infinitive.
