Change the following sentence into Indirect Speech:
Mother said to the child, "Don't run in the Sun."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Mother told the child not to run in the Sun.
In Indirect Speech, the reporting verb ("said") changes to a suitable reporting verb ("told" in this case). Additionally, the reported command ("Don't run in the Sun") becomes part of the reported speech with appropriate changes in pronouns and tense, if necessary.
Therefore, the correct sentence reflects the original command accurately while adhering to the rules of Indirect Speech.
