Transformation of the sentence from direct to indirect narration:
To transform the given sentence from direct to indirect narration, we need to change the reporting verb, pronouns, and time expressions.
The given sentence is: "Maria said to me, Please save my life."
1. Reporting verb:
- Since the reporting verb is "said," we can change it to "requested" to maintain the meaning of the sentence.
2. Pronouns:
- "me" should be changed to "her" because the sentence is being reported from Maria's point of view.
3. Time expressions:
- There are no time expressions in the given sentence, so we don't need to make any changes.
The transformed sentence in indirect narration is:
"Maria requested me to save her life."
Explanation:
- In indirect narration, we report what someone said without using their exact words.
- We need to change the reporting verb to match the context and the tense of the original sentence.
- Pronouns should be changed according to the perspective of the speaker in the reported speech.
- Time expressions may need to be changed if they are not relevant to the reported speech.
In the given sentence, Maria is asking someone to save her life. When reporting this, we use the reporting verb "requested" to convey the same meaning. Since Maria is talking about herself, the pronoun "me" is changed to "her" in the indirect narration. There are no time expressions in the original sentence, so we don't need to make any changes in that aspect.
Therefore, the correct option is "Maria requested me to save her life."

To transform the given sentence into indirect narration, we need to change the reporting verb and adjust the pronouns and verb forms accordingly. Let's analyze the options provided:
A: The stuntman ordered the audience not to try this at home.
- This option correctly transforms the sentence into indirect narration. The reporting verb "ordered" is appropriate, and the pronoun and verb forms are adjusted accordingly.
B: The stuntman suggested the audience to not try at home.
- This option is incorrect. The reporting verb "suggested" should be followed by the base form of the verb, without "to."
C: The stuntman advised the audience not to try at home.
- This option correctly transforms the sentence into indirect narration. The reporting verb "advised" is suitable, and the pronoun and verb forms are adjusted accordingly.
D: The stuntman suggested the audience do not try that at home.
- This option is incorrect. The reporting verb "suggested" should be followed by the base form of the verb, without "do."
Therefore, the correct option that shows the transformation of the given sentence into indirect narration is C: The stuntman advised the audience not to try at home.

To transform the given sentence from direct to indirect speech, we need to change the verb tense and the pronouns.
Direct Speech: "Don't make so much noise," he says.

- The reporting verb "says" should be changed to "asks" in order to maintain the same tense.
- The pronoun "he" remains the same in both direct and indirect speech.
- The imperative sentence "Don't make so much noise" should be changed to "not to make so much noise" in indirect speech.
Therefore, the correct option is B: He asks us not to make so much noise.

To transform the given sentence from direct to indirect narration, we need to follow certain rules. In indirect narration, the verb of the reporting verb changes according to the tense of the reported speech. Additionally, pronouns, adverbs of time and place, and tenses also change.
The correct transformation of the given sentence is:
Direct Speech: "Where have you spent your money?" she asked him.
Indirect Speech: She asked him where he had spent his money.
Explanation:
1. The reporting verb "asked" remains the same in the indirect speech.
2. The pronoun "you" changes to "he" in the indirect speech.
3. The adverb of place "where" remains the same in the indirect speech.
4. The verb "have spent" changes to "had spent" in the indirect speech to match the past tense.
Therefore, the correct option is C: She asked him where he had spent his money.

- In indirect narration, greetings like "Hello" are typically converted using verbs such as "greeted" or "wished."
- The given sentence "Hello," they said to Jim is transformed into indirect speech by expressing the action of greeting.
- The words "said" and "asked" do not appropriately convey the meaning of a greeting in indirect narration.

To transform the given sentence into indirect narration, we need to change the question form into a reported or indirect question. The correct transformation of the given sentence is:
"He wanted to know if she knew Rohit Kumar."
Explanation:
To transform a question into indirect narration, we follow certain rules:
1. The question word 'Does' is changed to 'if' or 'whether'.
2. The subject and the verb are inverted in the indirect question.
3. The question mark is replaced with a period.
Applying these rules to the given sentence, the correct option is A:
"He wanted to know if she knew Rohit Kumar."
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B: "He wants to know if she knows Rohit Kumar" is incorrect as it is in the present tense, while the original sentence is in the past tense.
- Option C: "He wanted to know that she knew Rohit Kumar" is incorrect as it uses the word 'that' instead of 'if' or 'whether' in the indirect question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: "He wanted to know if she knew Rohit Kumar."

To transform the given sentence from direct narration to indirect narration, we need to change the question into a reported speech format. The correct transformation is:
Direct narration: "Are you British or American?"
Indirect narration: He asked me whether I was British or American.
Explanation:
1. Identify the reporting verb: The reporting verb in this sentence is "asked."
2. Change the tense: The tense of the verb "asked" remains the same (past tense) in indirect speech.
3. Change the pronouns: The pronoun "you" changes to "me" in indirect speech.
4. Change the question into a statement: The question "Are you British or American?" is changed into a statement by using the conjunction "whether."
5. Change the word order: In indirect speech, the word order changes to subject + verb. Therefore, "I was" comes after "whether."
6. No inverted commas: In indirect speech, we do not use inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct transformation is: He asked me whether I was British or American.

Transformation of the sentence from direct to indirect narration:
When transforming a sentence from direct to indirect narration, we need to make certain changes to the sentence structure and pronouns. In this case, the sentence "Imran said to her, 'Obey your seniors'" can be transformed as follows:
Option B: Imran advised her to obey her seniors
- In indirect narration, the reporting verb "said" is changed to "advised" to convey the meaning of giving advice.
- The pronoun "her" remains unchanged as it represents the same person.
- The pronoun "your" is changed to "her" to maintain the correct reference in indirect narration.
- The word "seniors" remains unchanged as it represents the same group of people.
Therefore, the correct option for transforming the sentence from direct to indirect narration is B - "Imran advised her to obey her seniors."
Transformation of the sentence from indirect to direct narration:
When transforming a sentence from indirect to direct narration, we need to reverse the changes made in the indirect narration. In this case, the sentence "Imran advised her to obey her seniors" can be transformed as follows:
Option B: Imran advised her to obey her seniors
- In direct narration, the reporting verb "advised" is changed to "said" to convey the direct speech.
- The pronoun "her" remains unchanged as it represents the same person.
- The pronoun "her" is changed to "your" to maintain the correct reference in direct narration.
- The word "seniors" remains unchanged as it represents the same group of people.
Therefore, the correct option for transforming the sentence from indirect to direct narration is B - "Imran said to her, 'Obey your seniors.'"
In conclusion, option B is the correct choice for both transforming the sentence from direct to indirect narration and vice versa.

- Therefore, option B is the correct transformation of the given sentence into indirect narration.
Option C: She said that he does not speak Italian.

To transform the given sentence into indirect narration, we need to change the tense, pronouns, and some words to make the reported speech more appropriate.
Direct speech: She said, "I shall come in a few minutes."

Explanation:
Step 1: Change the reporting verb
- "Said" becomes "said that"
Step 2: Change the pronouns
- "I" becomes "she"
- "She" remains the same
Step 3: Change the tense
- "Shall" becomes "would"
Step 4: Add reporting words
- In this case, no additional reporting words are needed.
Therefore, the correct transformation of the given sentence into indirect narration is option B: "She said that she would come in a few minutes."

- However, it does not change the verb tense of "like" to the past tense, which is required in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
B: He said that he liked that song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- It also changes the verb tense of "like" to the past tense, which is required in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is correct.
C: He said that he would like that song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- However, it uses the future modal verb "would" instead of the past tense of "like," which is not appropriate in this context. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
D: He said that he will like this song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- However, it uses the present tense "will like" instead of the past tense of "like," which is not appropriate in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

The correct option that shows the transformation of the given sentence into indirect narration is option C: John said that it was raining very heavily outside.
Here is a detailed explanation of why option C is correct:
Direct Narration: John said, 'It is raining very heavily outside.'
Indirect Narration: John said that it was raining very heavily outside.
Explanation:
1. When transforming a sentence from direct to indirect narration, we need to change the pronouns, tenses, and adverbs of time and place according to the rules of indirect speech.
2. In this case, the pronoun 'it' remains unchanged as it refers to the same thing (rain) in both direct and indirect speech.
3. The reporting verb 'said' changes to 'said that' in indirect speech.
4. The present tense 'is' changes to the past tense 'was' because the reported speech is about a past event.
5. The adverb of place 'outside' remains unchanged in indirect speech.
Therefore, the correct transformation of the sentence into indirect narration is: John said that it was raining very heavily outside.

To convert the given sentence into indirect narration, we need to change the question from direct speech to indirect speech.
The given sentence in direct speech is: "How old is your mother?" he asked.
To convert it into indirect speech, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the reporting verb: The reporting verb in this sentence is "asked".
2. Identify the reporting verb tense: The reporting verb tense is past tense because "asked" is in the past form.
3. Change the pronoun: Since the speaker is asking the question to someone else, we need to change the pronoun accordingly. In this case, "your" will be changed to "her".
4. Change the word order: In indirect speech, the word order of the sentence changes. The question word "how" comes before the verb "old" and the subject "mother".
Based on these rules, the correct option that shows the transformation of the sentence into indirect narration is:
A: He asked how old her mother was.

Direct Speech: Where are you going?
Conversion into Indirect Speech: She asked where I was going.
Explanation:
To convert a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, we need to make the following changes:
1. Replace the question mark with a full stop.
2. Use reporting verb (asked, enquired, etc.) to introduce the reported speech.
3. Change the pronouns and verb tense according to the rules of indirect speech.
In this case, the correct conversion is option A: She asked where I was going.
Option Analysis:
A: She asked where I was going - This is the correct conversion of the sentence from direct to indirect speech.
B: She asked am I going anywhere - The pronoun and verb tense are incorrect.
C: She enquired was I going anywhere - The reporting verb "enquired" is not appropriate in this context.
D: She asked was I going anywhere - The pronoun and verb tense are incorrect.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
