Question

She said to her son that she was old and lonely and asked him if he had no pity on her loneliness

Answer 1

Answer:

She said to her son"I am old and lonely, don't you have pity on my loneliness "

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence can be written by changing narration as-

She said to her son, "I am old and lonely, don't you have pity on my loneliness?"

Explanation:

• When we change the words of a speaker from repeating to reported form without affecting its meaning, it is called Narration Conversion.

• Here the given sentence is in reported speech since it has no speech marks.

• And the reporting verb is in the past tense i.e. "She said to her son" and the reported speech is in the past perfect tense,

• As per the rule of narration change, when we change the indirect speech of interrogative sentences into direct, we use “Said” instead of “said that”. The tense of the speech would be changed into a simple present tense followed by the use of quotation marks.

• Then we add the wh-word and omit the “If/Whether”. Next, we replace the full stop with a question mark.

Therefore the direct or repeating narration would be-

She said to her son"I am old and lonely, don't you have pity on my loneliness?"
