| 18.4 Imperative in the indirect speech |
In English the imperative is transformed to an infinitive form.
| Example |
| He says, "Do not drink this." |
| He says not to drink this. |
The same is done in French, here the infinitive is added with the preposition de.
| Example: de + infinitive | |
 |
Elle lui ordonne: "Ne le fais pas!" |
|
Elle lui ordonne de ne pas le faire. |
