"Are you alone, my son?" asked a soft voice close behind me.

He asked me why I did not come on time the previous day.

"I would have been surprised if you had passed examination," said the former master.

My mother said to me, "Where are you going at this time of the day?"

Sitara asked me, "Have you taken your laptop?"

"Give yourself fifteen minutes and walk gently," Uncle Podger always said.

He asked me if I had been ill.

Ram asked me, "How much have you paid for this umbrella?"

The father warned his son that he should be beware of him.
