Imperatives in reported speech take “to + base verb” after a reporting verb of command (ordered; told). “Said to” commonly shifts to “ordered” when the tone is directive. Deictic “here/there” varies by context; many exam keys retain “here” when the locus is unchanged in narration. The structure keeps tense neutral because commands lack finite tense.
