Answer 1

Answer:

1. Grandmother told me that she was the first girl in her class.

2. My father prayed that God might bless me.

Explanation:

Narration is an act of describing a story, typically in a chronological order.

There are primarily two methods for reporting a speaker's remarks.

1. Direct Speech: The speaker's actual words are included in quotations in this format.

2. Indirect speech:  In this form, the speaker's real words are changed and spoken or written in a indirect way.

While converting a Direct speech to an Indirect speech, there are five fundamental factors that must be altered.

1. to adjust the reporting verb to the speech being reported.

2. to eliminate the inverted commas from the direct utterance and substitute a suitable conjunction in their place.

3. to appropriately alter the reported speech's pronoun.

4. Adverbs in the Direct Speech should be changed.

Therefore the given sentences can be converted into indirect speeches as:

1. Grandmother told me that she was the first file in her class.

2. My father prayed that God might bless me.
