Change the Narration
ii) The girl told her mother, "Can I watch some T.V. now?"
Answers
Explanation:
The first rule for changing direct into indirect speech is: When the reporting or principal verb is in past tense, all the present tense verbs in the direct speech (given in quotes) are changed to the corresponding past tense.
In the given sentence, the principal verb, 'said' is in simple past tense. Hence, the verbs inside the quotes are changed from simple present tense into simple past tense.
The second rule is: The pronouns in the direct speech (inside quotes) are changed so that it represents the relation with the reporter and not the speaker. So, the words, 'my mother' and 'my best friend' are changed to 'her mother' and 'her best friend' in indirect speech ('her' is used as Rashi is a the name of a feminine noun).
Answer:
The girl asked her mother if she could watch some TV then.
