reported with ordered and the infinitive form with to.
e.g. "Wait a
minute!" becomes: He ordered me to waiT a minute.
Requests are
reported with asked and the
infinitive form with to.
e.g. "Please, wait!" becomes: He asked me to wait.
"Could you close the door, please?" He ASKED me TO CLOSE the door.

or asked and not to + infinitive.
e.g. "Don’t tell me anything, please." becomes: He
asked me not to tell him anything.
"Don’t talk anymore!" becomes: He ordered me not to talk
