My sister ordered me to complete the work.

You might be surprised why there are two answers, but it really depends on the context. As the sentence is imperative we can take it as a command or a request. We can figure out this context isn't much of a request, right? Reported speech is often used in Articles, Newspapers, magazines, stories, past recollections,etc...

• The first rule is to choose a reporting verb and tense. As shown above.

• The second rule is to change the perspective, or point of view. That means we have to remove the quotes of direct speech.

• The next rule is to "backshift" the tense. Change the tense accordingly.

• Reporting on questions. That means we have to change a question to a statement.
