Imperative sentences give a command, makes a request, or offers instructions, in English language. These sentences tell someone to do something and typically end with a period or an exclamation point. Imperative sentences do not always state a subject as the subject "you" is usually understood.

The basic rules of direct and indirect narration involve changing the pronouns, tense, and time expressions. For example, in indirect speech, present tense often changes to past, and words like "today" become "that day". Always remove quotation marks and use a reporting verb like “said”, “told”, or “asked”.
