Question

change the following sentence into indirect speech sentence is the mother said to her young son ", don't drink cold water

Answer 1

Answer:

In indirect/reported speech, this sentence would be "The mother told her young son not to drink cold water."

Explanation:

• Indirect speech is used to report a conversation between two people to another person.
• When reporting requests or instructions, the verb in the sentence is changed into the infinitive form.
• To report positive requests the word "to" must be added and to report a negative request, the words "not to" must be used.
• In the given sentence, the word "don't" is replaced with "not to" and the verb drink is replaced with the infinitive form "to drink".
• In this manner, the sentence can be converted to indirect speech.
