Question :
Change the given sentence into indirect speech.
The officer said to clerk," Do it immediately".
Answer :
The officer ordered the clerk to do that immediately.
The rules to change a direct speech into an indirect speech are as follows :
- The comma and the double quotations are to be omitted.
- The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.
- The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.
- The given sentence inside the quotation is Imperative(order).
- Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense, yet the tense of the sentence inside quotation remains unchanged since it is an order .
