Question

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
I said to him, “Please stay here tonight.”

A.

I requested him to please stay there tonight.

B.

I asked him if he would stay there that night.

C.

I asked him to please stay here that night.

D.

I requested him to stay there that night.

Correct option is D

The correct indirect form of "I said to him, 'Please stay here tonight'" is "I requested him to stay there that night."
· This maintains the polite request and changes 'here' to 'there' to reflect the indirect speech.
· Indirect Speech is supported by some verbs like requested, ordered, suggested and advised. Forbid-forbade is used for negative sentences.
· Therefore,  the imperative mood in the direct speech changes into the Infinitive in indirect speech.
