Correct Question:
I said to my brother, "This is not the answer to my question."
Answer:
I told my brother that that was not the answer to my question.
Explanation:
- Narrative speeches are also called Reported Speech.
Here are a few rules you follow while changing direct into indirect/narrative :
- Usage of reported speech: This speech tells you about what someone said but doesn't report you in the original words of the speaker.
- Removal of quotation: As now you are already reporting it, you need to remove the quotation marks too.
- Changing pronoun: f you not the one to report on your speech "I" changes to "he" or "she".
indirect speech is when you tell about a particular conversation that happened at last, to someone else.
- One must change the tenses of a sentence.
- If something is a universal truth or any fact or a proverb of a quotation, NO changes take place in the form of tenses.
Also, following changes happens:
Now - Then
Today - That day
Said - Told
Will be - Would be
