18.4 Imperative in the indirect speech
In English the imperative is transformed to an infinitive form.

He says, "Do not drink this."

The same is done in French, here the infinitive is added with the preposition
de
.
Example: de + infinitive
Elle lui ordonne: "Ne le fais pas!"
Elle lui ordonne
de
ne pas le
faire
.
