Reported speech.

Question

- ''You should not lend him your car'',Nam said to me.(advised)

=) Nam ___________________________________________. 

(* What do you think about this question? Is it so strange?I think so,...How about you?Take a closer look at its meaning!Help me,please!If you can...)

Answer 1

This is a normal one, nothing strange, maybe you have misunderstood its aim or request. So we can change it like this:

Nam advised me not to lend him my car.

In the directed speech, the saying uses the word should as an advice, that's why the word given is advise, but Nam said...(past simple) so it's advised. Nothing strange. You may read more carefully!!! Good luck
