  • Hello, thank you, what topic will we be looking at?
  • Hi, welcome to today's English class.
  • Theory and practice of the indirect imperative. Shall we start?
  • Okay.
  • Let's start with the indirect imperative.
  • To ask someone to tell someone else to do something, in English we use the structure tell + someone +to. Let's see how to use it!Some things to keep in mind with this structure is that the pronouns we use with tell + someone + to are me, us (to me), him (to him), her (to her) and them (to them).
  • The verb is always in the infinitive, so we always add to. And to be more polite, we usually accompany it with please. Can you give me some examples?
  • Sure, they would be Tell him to come here, Tell her to sing and Tell them to sit down.
  • Okay, that's correct. Always keep in mind that you should never say tell she to do it. If you don't use the right pronoun, it will be clear that you don't control the language. Always say: Tell her to do it, okay?
  • Agreed
  • Ok now let's look at the negative imperative in the indirect style.
  • When you want to command someone to tell someone else not to do something, use this structure:tell + person + person+ not to + verbAnd note that...The pronouns we use with this structure are me (to me), us (to us/us),him (to him), her (to her) and them (to them)
