Question:

Change the following sentence into an Indirect Speech :

The teacher said, "Do your work with dedication."

Options:

I am advised to do my work with dedication.

The teacher advised him to do his work with dedication.

I was advised to do his work with dedication.

The teacher ordered me to do his work with dedication.

Correct Answer:

The teacher advised him to do his work with dedication.

Explanation:

The correct transformation of the given sentence into Indirect Speech is: "The teacher advised him to do his work with dedication."

This is an imperative sentence (advice/instruction). In indirect speech, such sentences are usually changed using “advised / told / ordered + object + to + verb.”

  • “said” → changed to advised (because the sentence gives guidance)

  • “Do” → to do

  • “your work” → his work (pronoun changes according to the listener)

Thus, the correct indirect speech is: The teacher advised him to do his work with dedication.
