ASK (someone) ABOUT (someone or something)
(someone), TELL ME ABOUT (someone or something) -- same thing with the above!
EXAMINE (something) -- the most usual adventure command!
FINGERPRINT (something) -- same as ANALYZE (something) FOR FINGERPRINTS.
SEARCH (someone) FOR (something specific) -- for example search for a GUN!
SEARCH NEAR (something) -- this is stronger than EXAMINE (something)!
SHOW (something) TO (someone) -- show them something that might shock them! (Hey, don't make dirty thoughts!)
SHOW ME (something) - ask someone to show YOU something or lead you someplace.
TIME -- or T for short: tells you what time it is.
WAIT FOR (someone or some amount of time) -- if anything exciting happens (say, a dog pees all over your leg) waiting stops automatically.
WAIT UNTIL (time)
WHAT'S WRONG? - an original command this one, lets you know what others think!
WHERE IS (someone or something) -- ask someone where is someone!
