Convert the command 'Open the window!' into reported speech. He told me open the window. He asked me open the window. He told me to open the window. He demanded me to open the window. None Show Hint The correct answer is 'He told me to open the window.' because commands in reported speech use 'told' followed by the infinitive. Option A is incorrect because it lacks the infinitive form. Option C is incorrect because 'asked' is not typically used for commands. Option D is incorrect because 'demanded' implies a stronger force than the original command. 2. How would you report the question: 'Can you meet me tomorrow?' He asked if I can meet him tomorrow. He asked could I meet him tomorrow. He asked if I could meet him the next day. He asked if I met him the next day.
