Question

change into indirect speech. 1. they said ,"we cannot live without water"​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

‘They cried that they cannot live without water.’

EXPLANATION:

    The sentence here is given in the direct form. In order to convert it into indirect speech, first of all, we need to change the tense of the sentence into past tense. The inverted commas need to be avoided. The word ‘that’ may be added in the indirect speech, but it is not compulsory.

   The word ‘said’ can be replaced by ‘cried’. The word ‘we’ should be written as ‘they’ such that it signifies the people who have told the dialogue.  

Answer 2

Answer:

They said that they cannot live without water.
