Answer 2

Answer:

Indirect speechs are : -

• 3) Nirali told Akash that she wanted to give him a nice gift that day time.

Explanation :

• Reported speeches of first and second sentences are example of Imperative Sentence. Imperative Sentences express request, command, avise, forbade and so on.

• First sentence is expressing 'forbade' and second sentence is expressing 'advise'. 'To' is used as a linker in Indirect speech. This is turned into 'that'

• The reported speech of third sentence is an example of Assertive Sentence. We know that told is used instead of 'said to', that is used as an introductory conjunction and today is turned into 'that day'
