Drop in

- ‘Don’t answer with red ink’. Is there anything wrong here, please?

- ‘Don’t drop litter in the street’. (do we say drop litter in or drop litter on the street?).

- ‘Let’s not complain too much’, she told Jayme.

- Reported speech: She told him not to complain too much. (is this sentence and the respective reported speech correct?).

Thank you,
