Question

The mother said,"did you ever see such a naughty disobedient girl?" Change the sentence into indirect speech

Answer 1

Answer:

The mother asked whether I had seen such a naughty disobedient girl before.

Answer 2

The indirect speech of the sentence is - "The mother asked if I had seen such a naughty disobedient girl".

• Indirect/reported speech is a speech that does not use the actual words used by the narrator but shares the same meaning from a third-person perspective.

• To change the given direct speech into an indirect speech we have to use the verb "asked" instead of "said". From a third-person perspective, we cannot use a question-marked sentence, rather we will use "if I had seen such a naughty disobedient girl".

Hence, changing into indirect speech the sentence becomes - "The mother asked if I had seen such a naughty disobedient girl".
