Explanation:

• We use direct speech when we repeat someone's words and indirect speech when we use our own words to report what someone says.
• The speaker and the reported verb remain unchanged while changing of narration.
• The comma and the quote after the reporting verb are placed by that.
• In imperative sentences, The verb of the reported speech takes infinitive form.
• In the negative sentences infinitive is preceded by not.
• The reporting verb is changed into request, beg, order according to the sense. 'Tell' may be safely used in the indirect form. It takes an indirect object.
