Question

Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.
Father told Avika to stop watching the TV and eat her food.

A.

Father said to Avika, “Stop eating the TV and watch your food.”

B.

Father said, “Avika, Why can’t you stop watching the TV and eat your food?”

C.

Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat her food.”

D.

Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat your food.”

Correct option is D

The correct direct speech is (d).
Explanation:
· The indirect sentence is an imperative sentence with two commands: “stop watching...” and “eat...”
· In direct form, the command is issued directly:
· Start with “Avika,”
· Maintain the base verbs: “stop” and “eat”
· Use correct pronouns: your (not “her” – which is used only in indirect speech)
Correct Sentence:
Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat your food.”
Why others are wrong:
· (a) Reverses actions: “eating the TV” – illogical
· (b) Changes tone to interrogative
· (c) Wrong pronoun usage: “her” instead of “your”
�� Grammar Booster:
Imperative indirect → direct form uses base verb, second-person pronouns (you/your) are retained directly.
