Imperative sentences are those which contain the sense of Request, Command, etc and always begin with the main verb. The subject 'You' is always implied.

Simple Imperative :

I said to him " Please, go to the market ."

Rule No 1 - The Reporting verb will be changed as per the sense contained in the Reported Speech.

If there is the sense of Request, we will change said to into - requested

👉আদেশ বুঝালে - said/ said to - ordered

Say/ says to এর পরিবর্তে order/ orders

👉উপদেশ বুঝালে - said/ said to এর পরিবর্তে advised

 Say/ Says/ says to এর পরিবর্তে advise/ advises

👉অনুরোধ বুঝালে said/ said এর পরিবর্তে requested 

Say/ says/ says to এর পরিবর্তে request/ requests বসে

If the sense is not clear then we shall convert said/ said to into  told or asked etc.

I told him ....

Rule No 2 - Inverted commas are replaced by ' to '.

I requested him to ...

Rule No 3. The rest of the reported speech will come as it is.

I requested him to go to the market.

Negative Imperative :-

I said to him," Don't open the door,please."

Rules are almost same as in the Simple Imperative except 'not' which we insert in the negative imperative before 'to' while replacing inverted commas. We also use forbade while replacing said to when there is the sense other than request/advice etc. Forbade is itself a negative word. It will not take the word not after it.

I requested him not to open the door.
