    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 ā€˜saidā€™ is mentioned in the sentence, the past form of the verb should be used in the reported speech. So, ā€˜warnedā€™ should be used. Also, ā€˜donā€™t talkā€™ changes to ā€˜not to talkā€™.
