Imperative sentence:
➾ A sentence which shows command, order, or request is called imperative sentence.
Some rules while converting imperative sentences which are in direct speech to indirect speech:
- Imperative verb is used instead of reporting verb.
- Inverted commas are always removed while changing direct speech to indirect speech.
- Reporting speech is followed by infinitive 'to'.
- First person pronoun is changed into second person pronoun.
- Some other mandatory changes can be observed.
