⑥ 祈使句

用“tell /ask /order someone (not) to do something” 结构，将动词原形变为动词不定式，例：

→ The teacher told them to put up their hands.

“Don’t play football on the street，” the policeman said.

→ The policeman ordered us not to play football on the street.

2. 时态的变化

如主句的谓语动词是一般过去时，直接引语变间接引语时，从句的谓语动词在时态上要作相应变化：

直接引语 →  间接引语

一般现在时 → 一般过去时

现在进行时 → 过去进行时

现在完成时 → 过去完成时

一般过去时 → 过去完成时

过去完成时 → 过去完成时(不变)

一般将来时 → 过去将来时
