Question

c.change narration The man said to me that the earth is round.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The man said to me, "The earth is round."

Explanation:

This sentence was a statement. When we change the narration of a simple statement, we do the following changes in the given sentence:

1. We connect reporting verb clause with quoted speech (direct speech) using 'that'

2. We change the tense of the quoted speech into the past tense.

3. We change the pronouns according to the subject and object pronouns or nouns.

Since this sentence was already in indirect speech, so we used all the rules in reverse order.

This sentence is universal truth. When we report a universal truth we do not change the tense.
