Answers
Answer :
This question is on direct and indirect speech.
The given sentence is in direct speech.
Direct Speech : Fairy Godmother said to Cindrella, "What are you crying for ?"
Cambridge English Dictionary defines "direct speech" as "When you use direct speech, you repeat what someone has said using exactly the words they used."
The given sentence, correctly converted to indirect speech, is :
Indirect Speech : Fairy Godmother asked Cindrella what she was crying for.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines "indirect speech" as "the act of reporting something that was said, but not using exactly the same words."
The narrative form of the sentence, ‘Fairy Godmother said to Cinderella, “What are you crying for?”’, will be, ‘Fairy Godmother asked Cinderella what she was crying for.’
The narrative form of any sentence changes the voice of the sentence.
The sentence which describes the dialogue of a person as it is said changes to a sentence as being spoken by a third person.
