21. Convert the following into indirect form of narration. "Why, is something the matter? No, nothing's the matter. I just felt like having a bus ride, that's all. Don't you want to have a look at the sights, now that you're here?" Do as Directed.
Answers
(We will need to mention 2 people. Let us presume that they are A(a boy) and B(a girl). Also, we will need to change the words a little because informal language makes sense in direct speech, but is not fit for reported speech. The quotation marks have not been correctly placed in the question. I am assuming that A asked the question, and the rest is all B's answer. )
A asked B what the matter was. B said that nothing was wrong and that she just felt like having a bus ride. B then asked A if he didn't want to have a look at the sights, given that he was already there.
