      Question

      My father said to me, "Don't talk to your mother like

      that." In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct speech.
      A My father warns me not to talk to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B My father warned me not to talk to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C My father warned me not to have talked to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D My father warns me not to have talked to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Since ‘said’ is mentioned in the sentence, the past form of the verb should be used in the reported speech. So, ‘warned’ should be used. Also, ‘don’t talk’ changes to ‘not to talk’.
