Question

The Tsar said,"I come to you, wise man, for an answer to my questions".(Change into indirect speech)​

Answer 1

Changing the narration of the sentence we will get ''The Tsar said wise man that he came to him for an answer to his questions''.

What is the direct and indirect form of verb?

Direct speaking is when something is repeated exactly as it was the first time, generally between two inverted commas. Instead of explicitly conveying someone's ideas or words, indirect communication describes or summarises what was said.

What exactly does the reporting verb imply?

• When we tell someone what another person said, we usually use the verbs say, tell, or ask. Reporting verbs are what they're called.

• The direct object is the thing on which the subject acts, therefore in that last word, "cereal" is the direct object; it's what Jake ate. An indirect object is a sentence element that isn't necessary.

Answer 2

The Tsar addressed the wise man and said that he came to him for an answer to his questions - The sentence is converted into an indirect speech.

Speech:

• Direct speech tells about the exact words spoken.
• Indirect speech is normally used to talk about the past, so we can change the tense of the words spoken.
• Here we can use reporting verbs such as tell, say, ask, and that is used to present the reported words.
• So the given sentence is changed into indirect speech as, The Tsar addressed the wise man and said that he came to him for an answer to his questions.
