  Direct and Indirect Speech Exercise These are some practice exercises carried out to test what has been learned in class 1.    He said to me, ‘What are you doing?’        He asked me what I was doing.  2.    ‘Where is the post office?’ asked the stranger.           The stranger asked where the post office is/was. 3.    He said, ‘Will you listen to me?’          He asked me if I would listen to him. 4.    John said to Peter, ‘Go away.’             John ordered Peter to go away 5.    She said to me, ‘Please wait here till I return.’           She asked me to wait there till she returned. 6.    ‘Call the witness,’ said the judge.                 The judge commanded them to call the first witness.  7.    The speaker said, ‘Be quiet and listen to my words.’                He urged them to be quiet and listen to them.

Imperative These are some practice exercises done by me on indirect speech imperative which was one of the topics I saw practice exercises: structure: (intro)-(to o not to)-(message) 1. Mark said, "Don't try to be funny." Mark told me not to try to be funny 2. Patty said, "Wait here till I come. Patty told me to wait there till she come 3. My mom said, "Go to bed and don't get up till you're called." My mom told me to go to bed and don't get up till she called me.  4. My dad said, "Don't be a bad girl and sit quietly for five minutes." My dad told me not to be a bad girl and sit quietly for five minutes
