    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in

    indirect speech. My brother said to me, “Don’t play in the rain.”
    A My brother said to me don’t play in the rain. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B My brother forbade me to play in the rain. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C My brother assured me not to play in the rain. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D My brother refused me to not play in the rain. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

     ‘said to’ changes into forbade. In imperative sentences conjunction to is used while changing into indirect speech. So option (b) is correct. Option (d) could also be correct if not comes before to.
