Smile Reported Speech

Hi,I'm Thao.I'm from Vietnamese.While I do my homework,I had a problem about Command and Imperative(in Reported Speech).
I learn:
When change introductory verb:suggest,have two ways:
1.verb+ing
2.that+S'+v'(SHOULD)+B.I
So,when do we use first way or second way?
Thanks very much!
Googbye!
Thao

Offhand, I would say that they are just two options for expressing the same thing. Use the one you like.

If you can give me some problematical sample sentences, I can be more specific.
