​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

He asked me to take away his golden jug and fetch him some water from the well, as he was feeling very thirsty.

Explanation:

In this example, we have a sentence that expresses a request, which is called an Imperative sentence.

So, in this case, we introduced his request with the verb ask in Past Simple tense, and because of that the rest of the sentence is also changed into the past tense.

When the verb in the Direct Speech appears in Present Simple, in the Indirect Speech it will change to Past Simple.

On the other hand, when the verb in the Direct Speech appears in Present Continuous, in the Indirect Speech it will change to Past Continuous.

Also, we have changed the 1st person pronoun into 3rd person pronoun, according to the subject of the reporting speech – in this case, it is HE.
