Question

Change it into indirect narration
She said to them "Go to hell "

Answer 1

She told them to go to hell

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence in indirect narration would be

She cursed them to go to hell.

(or, She cursed them that they might go to hell.)

Explanation:

• Speech narration is a grammatical construction that emphasises how we represent the speaker's words.

• The indirect or reported speech focuses more on the content presented without speech marks rather than the speaker's exact words.

• While reporting an imperative sentence, we use reporting verbs such as advice, wish, pray, curse, request etc. in past simple tense to maintain the same meaning to fit well with the mood of the speaker and remove quotations.

Since the given is an imperative sentence, the report of direct speech would be

She cursed them to go to hell.

(or, alternately we can write,)

She cursed them that they might go to hell.
