We can add “to” for positive sentence and “not to” for
negative sentence.
Example:

6. Statement
If the reporting verb in the present (he says,
she asks, he tells, …), we do not change the
tense in Indirect Speech
If the reporting verb in the past (he said, they
asked, …), we change the tense in Indirect
Speech.
We usually add “that” in the sentence.
