Объяснение:

1Verbs commonly used to report commands include "asked," "told," "ordered," "commanded," and "requested." The difference between them is in their level of politeness or formality, with "asked" and "requested" being more polite and less forceful than "ordered" or "commanded."

2In the reported command, we typically change the tense of the verb from the direct command to match the tense of the reporting verb. For example, "Please be careful with the sculpture" becomes "He asked them to be careful with the sculpture." However, for commands using modals like "should" or "could," the same modal verb is used in the reported speech.

3In reported commands that are negative, "not" is typically included after the reporting verb. For example, "Don't move the duck!" becomes "He told them not to move the duck."
