Reported offers, requests, suggestions and commands
Angleščina · 9. razred
When we tell someone what another person offered, asked, suggested, or commanded, we use reported speech. This is different from reporting statements. For offers, requests, suggestions, and commands, we usually use an infinitive (to + verb) or a gerund (verb + -ing).

Offers and Requests
For reported offers, we often use the verb 'offer' followed by 'to + infinitive'. For example, 'He offered to help me'. Sometimes 'suggest' can be used for offers, followed by a gerund. For reported requests, we use verbs like 'ask' or 'request', usually followed by an object and 'to + infinitive'. For instance, 'He asked me to close the door'.
- Offers use 'offer' + 'to + infinitive'.
- Requests use 'ask' + object + 'to + infinitive'.
Suggestions and Commands
When reporting suggestions, we use verbs like 'suggest' or 'recommend'. These are typically followed by a gerund (verb + -ing) or a 'that clause'. An example is 'He suggested playing a game'. For reported commands, we use verbs such as 'order', 'tell', or 'command', followed by an object and 'to + infinitive'. For negative commands, we use 'not to + infinitive', like 'She told him not to touch that'.
- Suggestions use 'suggest' + gerund or 'that clause'.
- Commands use 'tell' / 'order' + object + 'to + infinitive'.
Zanimivosti
- The word 'should' is often optional in a 'that clause' for reported suggestions.
- For negative commands, we use 'not to + infinitive'.
