The head chef is having a complete meltdown during the dinner rush! Choose ALL the sentences that correctly report his frantic commands and requests to the kitchen staff.
The correct answers are: Chef Gordon ordered us to stop burning the risotto. He begged the pastry chef not to drop the wedding cake. He instructed the new guy to wash the dishes immediately.
To report commands and requests, we use a reporting verb (like told, ordered, begged, instructed) + an object + a to-infinitive (e.g., "to stop"). For negative commands, we use not to + infinitive (e.g., "not to drop").
"He told to the sous-chef..." is incorrect because "tell" takes a direct object without "to" (it should be "told the sous-chef"). "He commanded us that we don't..." is incorrect because commands require the infinitive structure, not a "that" clause with a present tense verb.
