Question

she said,"can you tell me the way to the nearest hotel?" "No," replied the man ,"I am a stranger."
​

Answer 1

By changing the narration we will get ''She asked whether he could tell her the way to the nearest hotel. the man replied he cannot say as he is a stranger''.

• Changing the narration involves changing it from a direct or indirect speech to another speech.

• We relay the speaker's message in our own words in indirect speech.

• Someone else delivers it inadvertently.

• Direct speech: In this case, the speaker writes his own words exactly as he says them.

• These are the words as they are, without any substitutions.

Answer 2

She asked whether could tell her the way to the nearest hotel .
