change into indirect speech

Answer 1

The principal ordered the peon to let that boy go out.

What is direct and indirect speech?

• The speech is reported in two ways: direct and indirect.
• In direct speech, the exact words of the speaker are reported and are written within the inverted commas.
• While the indirect speech is not reported in inverted commas and the conjunctions like 'that and by' are used in indirect speech.

Answer 2

The principal advised the peon to let the boy go out.

• Indirect speech is also referred to as indirect discourse. When the reporting verb is in the past tense in direct speech, all present tenses in indirect speech are converted to the appropriate past tense.
• Requested, ordered, suggested, and advised are some verbs that support indirect speech. Forbidding-forbidding is used in negative sentences.
• As a result, the infinitive mood in indirect speech replaces the absolutely crucial mood in direct speech.
