 “Grown-ups Say Things Like”

 Speak up

 Don't talk with your mouth full

 Don't stare

 Don't point

 Don't pick your nose

 Sit up

 Pull your socks up

 Stand up straight

 Say thank you

C Observe

When we give orders or instructions,we generally use the affirmative imperative form.

.Observe in the poem:  " Speak up,"parents tell their kids

:Note how we report the affirmative imperative form

                                    .Parents tell their kids to speak up

.More examples: "Shut the door behind you!" they tell them

                     They tell them to shut the door behind them.

 

When we talk about prohibitions, we generally use the negative imperative.

"Don't pick your nose!" parents tell their kids.

Note how we report the negative imperative:

They tell them not to pick their nose.

:More examples    

"Don't stare!" they tell them → They tell them not to stare.

Keep in mind:

 Direct speech

 Reported speech
