| Remember that ask can be used to report questions and commands, and tell can be used to report statements and commands, but the form is different. Questions: She asked me where I lived. She asked me if I wanted a lift. Statements: He told me he was very unhappy. He told his wife that he loved her. Commands: He asked me to turn the music down. She told him to go away. Notice the negative command. hey asked me not to tell anyone. She told her son not to worry. |
