Reported Questions: When reporting a "Wh-" question, we keep the question word but change the word order to a statement (subject + verb). We drop the auxiliary "do/did" and backshift the tense (Past Simple $\rightarrow$ Past Perfect). "Why did you add?" becomes "why the trainee had added".

Reported Commands: When reporting a negative command, we use the structure reporting verb + object + not + to-infinitive. "Don't touch!" becomes "ordered him not to touch".
