change the following exchanges into reported speech seetha:where did you buy this new dress geetha:I bought it in my cousins shop
Answers
Answer:
Seetha asked her friend where she had bought hat new dress.
Her friend replied she had bought it at her cousin's shop.
Explanation:
First sentence was an interrogative case. When we convert an interrogative sentence starting with wh- word, we don’t add any conjunction such as ‘that’, ‘if’ etc. We just use the wh-word and turn the question into statement. The other tense and pronoun changes are applied as per the reported speech rules.
The second sentence was a simple statement. So, we applied the tense change and pronoun change rules that we usually apply while converting the direct speech into indirect speech.
The reported speech of the given sentence would be:
Seetha asked Geetha from where did she brought that new dress.
Geetha answered to Seetha that she had bought it in her cousin's shop.
EXPLANATION:
- As the simple rule of reported speech, we know that reported speech is the speech said by some person other than the speaker.
- Since, the given sentence has two speakers, one is Seetha and the other is Geetha. Seetha is asking a question to Geetha, and Geetha is answering to Seetha.
- So, in the first sentence, we could add that Seetha asked Geetha from where did she buy that new dress.
- In the reported speech, the first person you will be changed to her ( used for Geetha) buy would be changed to bought, v3 and this would be changed to that.
- In the second sentence, since Geetha is answering Seetha we can write that Geetha answered Seetha that she bought it in her cousin's shop.
- I would be changed to her, bought will remain the same.
