Příkazy a prosby v nepřímé řeči
Chceme-li parafrázovat něčí rozkaz či prosbu, můžeme použít např. sloveso 'tell' s větou uvozenou "to": He told me to go away. Používá se vazba sloveso + nepřímý předmět + věta s "to". Nepřímý předmět označuje osobu, ke které se mluví. Kromě "tell" se používají i další slovesa: command, order, warn, ask, advise, invite, beg, teach & forbid.
Příklady

|---|---|
| The doctor said to me, "Stop smoking!". | The doctor told me to stop smoking. |
| "Get out of the car!" said the policeman. | The policeman ordered him to get out of the car. |
| "Could you please be quiet," she said. | She asked me to be quiet. |
| The man with the gun said to us, "Don't move!" | The man with the gun warned us not to move. |
Prosba o nějakou věc
Pro tento typ prosby či žádosti se používá vazba "asked for" + předmět.
Příklady
| Přímá řeč | Nepřímá řeč |
|---|---|
| "Can I have an apple?", she asked. | She asked for an apple. |
| "Can I have the newspaper, please?" | He asked for the newspaper. |
| "May I have a glass of water?" he said. | He asked for a glass of water. |
| "Sugar, please." | She asked for the sugar. |
| "Could I have three kilos of onions?" | He asked for three kilos of onions. |
Návrhy
Nejčastějšími slovesy používanými s návrhy jsou: suggest, insist, recommend, demand, request a propose, po nichž následuje věta uvozená "that". "That" a "should" však v těchto větách nutně stát nemusí, viz dva první příklady uvedené níže. Po "suggest", "recommend" a "propose" může rovněž následovat gerundium, takže pak už není uveden nepřímý předmět (komu je návrh učiněn) a celý návrh je potom zdvořilejší (viz čtvrtý a pátý příklad).
