Question

he said to her," who are you and what do you want of us?” change the narration to indirect speech​

Answer 1

Answer:

HE ASKED HER WHO SHE WAS AND WHAT DID SHE WANT OF HIM?

Answer 2

➭ Let's first identify the tense of the reporting verb.

• The reporting verb here - 'said'
• Tense of the verb - Past tense

  So, the whole sentence has to remain in the past tense.

➭ Now, we remove the inverted commas and change the reporting verb as per the quoted sentence.

• 'Said to' → 'asked'

➭ We have to change the pronouns, too. As 'he' is speaking to 'her', 'you' will be indicated to 'her'. 'Us' involves 'him' and some others, therefore we'll change it to 'them'.

➭ The last step: the sentence quoted is interrogative. But sentences in indirect speech are simple affirmative statements. So, we change the questions like this-

• Who was she → who she was
• What did she want of them → what she wanted of them

So, finally we get the answer :D

He asked her who she was and what she wanted of them.

Direct Speech

Direct speech is used when reporting the same words with actual quotation marks. For example-

• The policeman said to him, "Where am I?"
• Kritika told me, "You edit well."

Indirect Speech

Indirect speech is used when reporting the words, not usually exact, without quotation marks. For example-

• The policeman asked him where he was.
• Kritika told me that I edit well.
