Explanation:

Imperative sentence:

If someone is giving order or request through the sentence we can called it an imperative sentence.

While changing the narration of imperative sentence do the following changes-

• If the given sentence is an imperative sentence instead of said we need to use words like suggested, advised, commanded, ordered, begged, warned, requested, etc.
• Instead of do not we should write down not to

Eg. Ram said to his father, "Don't send me money."

We can convert the narration (reported speech)of the sentence in the following way-

Ram requested his father not to send him money.

When given sentence is an interrogative sentence and question is asked with WH word do the following changes-

• Use the same WH word as a conjunction
• Instead of using said we should use asked.

Eg.-

Ram Said to his friend ,"How are you?"

Ans-Ram asked his friend how he was.
