Correct Answer: My mother warned me not to be late the next day morning.


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Explanation:
Indirect form, also known as indirect speech or reported speech, is a way of expressing someone else's words or statements without quoting them directly.
Narration conversion:

  • The imperative mood in direct speech changes into the infinitive in indirect speech.
  • Indirect speech is supported by some verbs like requested, ordered, suggested, advised, and warned.
  • The reporting verb "said" changes to "warned".
  • The verb "don't" becomes "not to" in the indirect part.
  • "Tomorrow" becomes "the next day" in the indirect part.

Therefore, the indirect form would be: My mother warned me not to be late the next day morning.
