What does Jane have to do?
1-I talked to her mother and she says to wait.
(Meaning: Jane's mother says that Jane is to wait.)


-What shall I do?
2-I talked to your father and he says to leave.
(Meaning: Your father says that you should leave.)


Are sentences 1 and 2 correct with the given meanings?
