English Narration Imperative Sentence Question #7808 (CAT-I)

Choose the correct indirect form of the sentence: My brother said to me, "Please turn down the volume of the radio."

A My brother requested me to turn down the volume of the radio.

B My brother requested me that I should turn down the volume of the radio.

C My brother told me to please turn down the volume of the radio.

D My brother asked me for turning down the volume of the radio.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• The word 'Please' indicates a polite request, so 'said to' changes to 'requested'. • The polite word 'Please' is dropped in indirect speech to avoid redundancy. • The imperative verb is changed to the infinitive form 'to turn down'. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Choose the correct indirect form of the sentence: My brother said to me, "Please turn down the volume of the radio."
