Which is the correct sentence in DIRECT speech if using the INDIRECT sentence that follows as a guild. The teacher ordered the children to do their homework.

  • A.The teacher ordered, Children, do your homework!
  • B.The teacher ordered "Children, do your homework!"
  • C.The teacher asked, "Children, do your homework!"
  • D.The teacher ordered, "Children, do your homework!"

Answer: D

Correct answer: The teacher ordered, “Children, do your homework!”

Working backwards: ordered the children to do their homework unpacks into an imperative addressed to them, with their becoming your. A comma is needed after the reporting clause, which is what separates this from the otherwise identical option, and asked would weaken the order to a request.
