Answer 1

Answer:

1.The father told to his son ," go to bed and do not get up till you are called

Answer 2

The changed narration of the sentences will be as follows:

(i) The father ordered his son to go to bed and not get up until he was called.

(ii) He asked if he/she was enjoying himself/herself.

(iii) He exclaimed that he was wearing a very dirty shirt.

The assertive sentences would be as:

(i) I have been very selfish.

(ii) It is a beautiful garden.

Explanation:

• The sentences in the first part are given in the direct speech format, we transform and convert those into reported speech or indirect speech format.
• While doing so, the inverted commas would not be included and the dialogues would be addressed in the third person format.
• The tense of those sentences would change to the past commonly, and the word said is replaced by ordered, asked, and exclaimed as these are commands, questions, and exclamations.
• Lastly, the conversion of the exclamatory sentences into assertive sentences would have the same rules of not changing the meaning and just taking out the exclamation.
• When the sentence is exclaimed using 'how' the sentence will also include the adverb 'very' in it. The assertive sentences will simply start with the subject.
