Answers
Here is your answer along with its explanation:
Rajan's mother told Rajan to hurry up as he would miss the school bus.
or
Rajan's mother told Rajan to hurry up lest he should miss the bus.
Explanation:
The first part of the direct speech (Hurry up) was an imperative sentence.
When we change an imperative direct speech or vice versa into indirect speech we do the following changes:
1. Reporting verb is changed according to the request, advice, suggestion, or command tone of the sentence.
2. Linking word 'to' is used to join the quoted speech with the reporting verb. In case the sentence is negative 'not to' is used.
3. The other changes of the tense, time adverbials, and pronouns are the same.
The second sentence was a statement. When we change the narration of a simple statement, we do the following changes in the given sentence:
1. We connect reporting verb clause with quoted speech (direct speech) using 'that'
2. We change the tense of the quoted speech into the past tense.
3. We change the pronouns according to the subject and object pronouns or nouns.
Note: We used creativity and joined both the sentences.
