Elvin said to Manu ,'' open the window.''( reported speech direct to indirect )

Elvin told Many to open the window.

Explanation:

In this case, we must report an imperative sentence. When that happens, it is best to use verbs such as "tell", "ask", or "order" instead of "say". Then, before the imperative verb, we add "to", if it is an affirmative imperative. In case it is negative, we add "not to". Take a look at the examples below:

- Sarah said to Chris, "Leave me alone!" - Sarah asked Chris to leave her alone.

- Jenny said to Lisa, "Don't go in there." - Jenny told Lisa not to go in there.

Having that in mind, we can safely change the sentence below from direct to indirect speech:

Elvin said to Manu, "open the window." --> Elvin told Manu to open the window.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
