Answer:
1. People do not love being teased in public.
2. The customer inquired whether it was 50 or 80, stating that they hadn't caught it.
Explanation:
1.No one loves people teasing them in the public. (Change into passive voice.)
In the active voice sentence, "No one loves people teasing them in public," the subject "No one" acts loving, while "people" are the ones being teased. To change this into the passive voice, we need to make the people being teased the subject of the sentence and the action (being loved) the focus.
Here's a paraphrased explanation:
The original sentence highlights that individuals generally do not enjoy being teased by others in public. When transformed into the passive voice, the emphasis shifts to the individuals being teased. The passive construction communicates that those who are subjected to teasing in public are not loved by anyone, implying a lack of affection or approval for the act of teasing in public settings.
2. "I didn't catch you. Is it 50 or 80?" the customer said. (Change into indirect speech.)
When changing direct speech into indirect speech, we essentially report what was said without quoting it directly.
Original direct speech: "I didn't catch you. Is it 50 or 80?" the customer said.
Indirect speech: The customer stated that they hadn't caught the information and asked if it was either 50 or 80.
In indirect speech, we use reporting verbs such as "stated" or "said" to convey that someone is reporting what was said, and we transform the pronouns and verb tenses accordingly. "I" changes to "they" because we're reporting what the customer said about themselves, and "didn't catch" changes to "hadn't caught" to maintain the past tense in the reported speech. Finally, the question structure is turned into a statement.
