Choose the correct indirect transformation of the following sentence…

Choose the correct indirect transformation of the following sentence from the given options:

Avik said to Sumit, “Do not come here again or you will get a beating.”

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 4

The correct answer is Option (4) → Avik warned Sumit not to come there again or he would get a beating.

Direct to indirect speech (a command given as a warning):

ChangeDirectIndirectWhy
Reporting verbsaid towarned“Said to” changes to a verb that shows the speaker’s purpose. Avik threatens Sumit with a beating, so the verb is warned.
Negative commandDo not comenot to come“Do not come” becomes not to come (not + to-infinitive).
Words of nearness (time and place)herethere“Here” becomes there.
Pronoun changeyouhe“You” (Sumit) becomes he.
Tense changewill getwould getAfter the past reporting verb, “will get” becomes would get.
Full sentenceAvik said to Sumit, “Do not come here again or you will get a beating.”Avik warned Sumit not to come there again or he would get a beating.

Example: The teacher said to us, “Do not talk.” → The teacher told us not to talk.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Avik told Sumit to do not come there again or he will get a beating. — Incorrect.

  • "To do not come" is not English. The negative form is "not to come".
  • "Will" is not changed to "would".

Option 2: Avik threatened Sumit that do not come there again or he will be beaten. — Incorrect.

  • A command cannot follow "that" in its direct form ("that do not come").
  • "Will" is not changed to "would", and "will be beaten" alters the original words.

Option 3: Avik told Sumit to not come there again or he will be getting a beating. — Incorrect.

  • The usual reported form is "not to come", not "to not come".
  • "Will be getting" changes the tense instead of shifting "will get" to "would get".
