Question

The king went up to him and said I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions turn into indirect speech ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The king went up to the wise hermit and said that the reason he had come to him was to ask three questions.

Explanation:

The rules for direct to indirect speech are -

• When the sentence is in simple present tense, the tense is kept the same while the subject is changed.
• When things from the past are to be reported in indirect speech then, the tense is changed by pushing it back further.
• Time expressions are necessary while changing and need to kept in mind.

Here the Subject remains the same and the tense of "to come" changes into "had come". "To ask" is also changed to "was to ask". This is the example of moving the tense back.

Answer 2

Answer:

The king went up to the wise hermit and told that he has come to him to ask him three questions.

Explanation:

Direct Speech refers to the literal repetition of the words spoken by someone, employing a quotative frame. On the opposite hand, indirect speech is one that reports something said or written by another person, without making the utilization of exact words.

• Direct speech may be a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in speech marks (also known as quotation marks or inverted commas). For example: "You'll never guess what I've just seen!" said Sam, excitedly. "What's that?" asked Louise.

• Indirect speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but doesn't use the person's actual words: for example, 'They said you didn't like it, 'I asked her what her plans were, and ' Citizens complained about the smoke'.
