Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The given sentence is in direct form of speech. Its indirect version will be;
We said to Ahmad that he was with us during our visit to murree
Indirect speech
Indirect speech is a form of speech when we tell someone what the other person stated him in context of his direct statements.
The meaning of message conveyed in both forms should remain the same
We told Ahmad that we wished he was with us during our visit to Muree.
The sentence is a little tricky because it uses the old English way of expression.
“Would that” here means “If only it was this simple".
Putting this information to use, we can take the given sentence to mean, "We wish you were with us during our visit to Muree."
Using this as the base sentence, let us now change the narration.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
We told Ahmad that we wished he was with us during our visit to Muree.
Changes made while changing the narration:
'said' becomes 'told'
'that' gets added
'you' becomes 'he'
