Dieses Kapitel der englischen Sprache wird dir keine Schwierigkeiten bereiten, denn es ist


He asked me to shut the door.
Dad asked me not to drop it.
He asked us to go on.
infinitive (Nennform)
negativ: not to ...
Am einfachsten ist der Befehl:
Der Imperativ (die Befehlsform) gleicht der 1. Form des Verbs.
Genauso einfach ist das Verbot: So wie der Befehl, nur verneint!
Die Bitte unterscheidet sich vom Befehl oder Verbot nur im Ton;
sie ist viel höflicher formuliert.
In der indirekten Rede erkennnst du die Bitte am
reporting verb “asked” (bat, ersuchte):




Go!
Don’t go!
Please go!
Please don’t go!
Die wichtigsten reporting verbs in indirect command sind:
told (me) (sagte, trug ... auf) – ordered (befahl) – asked (bat, ersuchte)

(also nicht bei Bitten; dort nur die eine Möglichkeit!). Du

das reporting verb.
