    Question

    Choose the option that is the direct form of the sentence.
    He asked me to wait there until I got my turn.

    A.

    He said to me, “Wait here until you get your turn.”

    B.

    He told to me “Wait here until you get your turn.”

    C.

    He said to me, “You are wait here until you get your turn.”

    D.

    He asked me to “wait there until you get my turn.”

    Correct option is A

    The correct direct form of the sentence "He asked me to wait there until I got my turn" is "He said to me, 'Wait here until you get your turn.'"
    Direct speech- Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct quotation, is a way of reporting someone's exact words.
    Indirect speech- Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect quotation, is a way of reporting someone's words or thoughts indirectly, without using their exact words.
    The following rules should be followed while converting an indirect speech to direct speech:
    · Use the reporting verb such as (say, said to) in its correct tense.
    · Put a comma before the statement and the first letter of the statement should be in capital letter.
    · Insert question mark, quotation marks, exclamation mark and full stop, based on the mood of the sentence.
    · Remove the conjunctions like (that, to, if or whether) wherever necessary.
    · Where the reporting verb is in past tense in indirect, change it to present tense in the direct speech.
    · Change the past perfect tense either into present perfect tense or past tense, as necessary.
    · Pronouns will be changed accordingly.
    · This transformation restores the original directive to its direct speech form, adjusting the pronouns and adverbs to reflect the direct speech context.
    · Example: She told him, "Stay there until I call you," similarly translating an instruction from indirect to direct speech.
    · Other options:
    · (b) "He told to me 'Wait here until you get your turn.'" is grammatically incorrect due to the use of "told to."
    · (c) "He said to me, 'You are wait here until you get your turn.'" and (d) "He asked me to 'wait there until you get my turn.'" both contain grammatical inaccuracies and confusion in pronoun reference.
