Answer:

This is actually quite tricky.

In the simplest form, they are most commonly used with verbs of motion. An example would be "Climbing down" or "Putting away". Usually, many of these would be able to connect with said verb (Climbing Up/Down/Off).

Granted, while some can be used after a verb with no problem, other combinations need further additions to the idea, otherwise they become ungrammatical.

For example:

While some may need additions (Usually by adding nouns after the preposition):

"I walked up" -Ungrammatical

"I walked up the staircase. -Grammatical

Others will do fine without any, as they express a complete idea:

"I cleaned up" -Grammatical

"I cleaned up the house" -Grammatical

There are even irregulars. These ones modify the meaning in slightly different ways.

"Cool off/down"

"warm up"

Then the weirder ones that may be rephrased and would still be grammatical such as:

"I ran up the stairs"

"I ran the stairs up"

You may even want to play with prepositions vs. phrasal verbs such as:

"He ran up a hill" (<em>u</em><em>p</em> is a preposition)

"He ran up a big bill" (<em>r</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>u</em><em>p</em> is a phrasal verb)

Granted, while these may not have been possible before, the rule of language is that its interpretation is based on what the vast majority view it as.

While there are some rules you might be able to follow, some of it just depends on semantics.

He said to her "was I really that easy to forget" Convert the sentence into indirect speech!​
satela [25.4K]

Sure,

Answer:

He said to her if he was really that easy to forget.

-> the sentence involved in this direct speech is a question. "he said to her" does not need to be changed. sentence structure of the question needs to be changed, not like your usual indirect speech sentences.

then, add a if after "he said to her". remember, this is a question.

the word in the sentence, "was" is not a modal verb, therefore it will not be changed. however, of course the word place needs to be switched with the pronoun "he", as we're converting it to a sentence and not a question. so, "if he was really that easy to forget".
