Correct Question:

The customer said to salesman ,"Please show some commodities."

Answer:

The customer requested the salesman to show him some commodities.

[Here, Requested is used as the reporting verb because in the dialogue, we can see please which is used for requesting purpose.]

Grammar bites:

We have seen different kind of sentences like statement, interrogative, imperative etc. The above question is Imperative in nature. It is because:

  • It involves a "Request"
  • Imperative sentences includes order, request, forbid, advice or suggestions.

Rules for changing Imperative sentences:

  • With due Main dialogue, the reporting verb changes accordingly like request, advice, forbid, request, beg, order etc.
  • The mood of Imperative is changed into Infinitive. Hence, to is used before the main verb.
  • When please is used for a request and let for suggestion. Accordingly we have to change the reporting verb like requested / suggested.

And we are done !!

Correct question:-

The customer said to salesman ,"please show some commodities."

Answer:-

The customer requested the salesman to show some commodities.

Here,

The customer said to salesman ,"please show some commodities." = Direct speech.

The customer requested the salesman to show some commodities. = Indirect speech.

Reported speech:-

  • When the verb in one sentence reports what is said by some speaker in another sentence the verb in the first sentence is called the reporting work and what is set in the second sentence is called the reported speech.
  • Ex:- My father said, "It is time to go away."
  • Here, the highlighted one is a reported verb and the non-highlighted one is reported speech.

Direct speech:-

  • When they reported speech repeats the actual words it is called as direct narration or speech.
  • Ex:- My father said, "It is time to go away."
  • Here, in the above it is off the actual and the present expressed sentence which is denoted with the symbols on the spot.

Indirect speech:-

  • When the reported speech gives the substance of the words used by the speaker and not the actual words this is called as indirect narration or speech.
  • Ex:- My father said that it was time to go away.
