Question

**5.**

Change the narrative style of the following text: "My sons, listen to me. A great treasure lies hidden in the land. I am going to leave it to you." "How will we find it?" said the sons. "You must dig the land for it," said the old man.

Accepted Answer

**Indirect speech:**
The old man addressed his sons and told them to listen to him. He said that a great treasure lay hidden in the land and that he was going to leave it to them. The sons asked how they would find it. The old man replied that they must dig the land for it.

**Rule:** Imperative (listen) is reported with told/asked + to-infinitive; present tense becomes past (lies → lay, am going → was going); will → would; must remains must; question is reported with how + statement order.
