Question

Help me to rewrite the sentence in direct speech

The zookeeper told the children that they were not allowed to feed the animals and added that they were not to tease the larger animals in the cages

Answer 1

The zookeeper siad to the children,"You are not allowed to feed the animals and you are not allowed to tease larger animals in the cages."

Answer 2

Wile converting from indirect speech, a few words are omitted- usually the repeated words. In this imperative sentence the zookeeper is instructing the children. Anyhow, the converted form of the statement is given below:

"You are not allowed to feed the animals" said the zookeeper to the children, "Also, you must not tease the larger animals in the cage."

The statement contains two separate dialogues spoken in a broken way. This can be determined by the deployment of "and added" in the Indirect representation of the statement in the query.
