What do teachers always say to their pupils? And do pupils always hear them and do what they're told?
Let's try to report the teacher's words:
'Open your books, please,' the teacher says/said. --> The teacher asks his pupils to open their books.
'Do your homework.' --> The teacher tells them to do their homework.
'Don't run in the corridors.' --> The teacher commands them not to run in the corridors.
'Don't copy.' --> The teacher orders them not to copy.
Reporting verbs are: tell (= reći), ask (= zamoliti), order (= narediti), command (= zapovedati), advise (= savetovati), suggest (= predložiti).
Now, try to report the doctor's words:
The doctor said, 'Stay in bed. Sleep. Drink a lot of water. Don't run or play. Don't go out,'
The doctor told me ...
Report the following:
'Stop that noise!' --> He told us ...
'Leave me alone.' --> He told me ...
'Don't sit near me.' --> She told me ...
'Give me your keys.' --> He told me ...
'Don't move!' --> He told me ...
Report the following:
'Stop that noise!' --> He told us ...
'Leave me alone.' --> He told me ...
'Don't sit near me.' --> She told me ...
'Give me your keys.' --> He told me ...
