Question

Rewrite the sentence using the normal word order:
She told me that you told her not to stay up late.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. She me told that you her told not to stay up late.
• C. Told me that she you told her not to stay up late.
• D. You told her not to stay up late she told me that.

Answer 1

The correct option is A NO CHANGE

In the English language, the normal order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object. The subject is the performer of the action (verb) and the object is the receiver of that action.
In the given sentence, the order is as follows: subject (She) + verb (told) + indirect object (me) + direct object (that you told her not to stay up late). This is the normal order of words, hence the sentence requires no change and option A is correct.
Option B is incorrect because the indirect object "me" is placed before the verb "told". (This order is usually seen in the French language.)
Option C is incorrect because the words are not ordered correctly, the sentence makes no sense.
Option D is incorrect because the direct object "you told her..." is placed before the subject and verb, the order isn't correct.
