Question

"Don't run " he said to the boy. ( Change into indirect speech

Answer 1

Here is the indirect sentence:

He forbade the boy to run.

What are the rules for making indirect sentences?

• When changing a direct sentence into an indirect sentence, the first step is to remove commas and add 'that'
• The second step is to change the first person into the second person and change the tense also.    
• When someone orders something, we replace it with words like forbade as we did in this sentence.
