Question

Change the narration

The commander said to his soldiers attack the enemy

Answer 1

→ The commander ordered his soldier, “ Attack the enemy. ”

Answer 2

Answer:

The given sentence is changed as "The commander ordered his soldiers to attack the enemy".  

Explanation:

• While changing imperative sentences in a “direct speech to indirect speech”, the words ‘said to’ are changed to words like “requested, advised, commanded, warned, and ordered”, etc., depending upon the main idea of the sentence.
• Imperative sentences that command in a direct speech can be changed into reported speech using words like ordered, commanded, warned etc.
• In the given sentence, ‘said to’ is changed to ‘ordered’, since a commander’s commands to his soldiers are taken as orders.
