Provide examples of present tense in indirect commands.

In indirect commands, the present tense is used to express requests, suggestions, or orders indirectly. Here are some examples of present tense in indirect commands:

1. She asks that he brings her a cup of coffee.
2. The teacher suggests that the students study for the upcoming test.
3. The boss insists that the employees arrive on time for the meeting.
4. He requests that she helps him with his project.
5. The doctor advises that the patient takes the prescribed medication.
6. The coach demands that the players practice harder.
7. The mother insists that her children eat their vegetables.
8. The manager recommends that the team members attend the training session.
9. The professor requires that the students submit their assignments by Friday.
10. The officer orders that the suspect remains in custody.

In all these examples, the present tense is used to convey indirect commands or requests. The verb form in the main clause (asks, suggests, insists, requests, advises, demands, insists, recommends, requires, orders) is followed by a subordinate clause in which the verb is in the base form (brings, study, arrive, helps, takes, practice, eat, attend, submit, remains). This structure allows for the expression of indirect commands or requests in the present tense.
