間接話法：命令、要求 & 提案

命令と要求の報告

命令や要求を報告したい場合、 to-で始まる文節と一緒に 'tell' などの動詞を使うことが出来ます：He told me to go away.このパターンは動詞 + 間接目的語 + to-文節です。この間接目的語は、主語が話している相手です。命令や要求をこのように報告するために使われる動詞：command, order, warn, ask, advise, invite, beg, teach, & forbid.

提案

提案には、 suggest, insist, recommend, demand, requestや proposeといった動詞の後にthat で始まる文節が続く形が最もよく使われます。下記のはじめの二つの例のように、'That' と 'should' は、これらの文節ではオプションです。suggest, recommendと proposeの後には、間接目的語（提案を受ける人）を省くことでその提案をより上品にするために、動名詞が続くこともあります。この動名詞の使い方は、下記の例の4番目と5番目に挙げています。
