Answer 2

The teacher adviced the students not to waste their time in idle gossiping.

Here the given sentence is an imperative sentence so while converting into indirect speech we should follow the below guidelines-

• First we should start with the same subject which is available in direct speech sentence.
• We should use appropriate reporting verb to write indirect speech sentence. Here in the given sentence 'said to' is a verb and it is an imperative sentence so instead of 'said to' we should use 'advised' as a reporting verb.

• As imperative sentence starts with verb so we should use 'to' before the verb. But here it is an negative imperative sentence so we should use 'not to'.

• We should use proper pronoun according to the subject. So here your becomes their.

• In imperative sentence we should also use reporting verb like requested, begged warned, advised, suggested, adviced, etc.
