    Question

    Choose the correct answer from the given options-
    The teacher said to the students, “Take back your books”. (Change into indirect speech)

    A.

    The teacher asked the students to take back your books.

    B.

    The teacher asked the students to take back their books.

    C.

    The teacher told the students to take back books.

    D.

    The teacher ordered the students to take back your books.

    Correct option is B


    Direct Speech- it means reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by him.
    Indirect Speech- It is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual word.
    · Given sentence is a direct speech.
    While changing direct speech into indirect speech following rules are to be followed:
    · When changing a command or request from direct to indirect speech, it's crucial to adjust pronouns and verb forms appropriately.
    · Pronoun Adjustment: The direct speech command uses "your books," which, when reported, should refer to the students collectively. Thus, "your" changes to "their" to match the third-person perspective in indirect speech.
    · Verb Choice: The use of "asked" is appropriate for conveying a polite request or command in indirect speech.
    Option (b) correctly reflects the change in pronouns and maintains the essence of the teacher’s instruction in indirect speech.
