Question

the little boy said to me "Alas! my dog is dead". (change into indirect speech)​

Answer 1

The sentence in indirect speech is, 'The little boy exclaimed with sorrow that his dog was dead.'

• In this sentence, the little boy is expressing his sorrow.
• Also, this is an exclamatory sentence. While changing into indirect speech, the word 'said to' is replaced by words like 'exclaimed with - joy or regret or sorrow or any such word.
• To change the speech, we have to change the possessives and the tense.
• Also, we have to remove extra punctuation.

So the sentence in indirect speech is, 'The little boy exclaimed with sorrow that his dog was dead.'
