Option 4: I ordered him get out and don’t dare to come there again.
Correct Answer: I ordered him to get out and not dare to come there again.
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
Narration Conversion:
- The verb said is changed to ordered in indirect form because it is an imperative sentence, and specific words are used to convey the command.
- The pronoun I remains the same, as it refers to the person reporting the speech.
- The imperative is converted into an indirect command using the infinitive form (to get out) in indirect form.
- The location here changes to there to reflect the shift in perspective in the indirect form.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I ordered him to get out and not dare to come there again.
