Requests and commands are formed using the "to-infinitive" in statements and "not + to-infinitive" in negative statements. If we report somebody's commands, we use the verb told. If it's a request, the word used in the main clause is usually asked. Commands Go to bed! He told me to go to bed. Don't go to bed! He told me not to go to bed. Requests Could you buy some eggs? She asked me to buy some eggs Don't buy any eggs please. She asked me not to buy any eggs.
