Hello everyone,
could anyone help me to complete the sentences at (b) so that they give the same meaning as the sentences at (a)..
  1. a. �You shouldn�t go running as you�re feeling ill, John,� Anne said.
    b.      Anne advised John.................
  2. (a) �Why don�t we go shopping?� suggested Fatima. 
    (b) Fatima suggested why..................


    My answers were 1. not to go running as he was feeling ill
    2. we don �t go shopping.

    What do you think? correct?

Thanks in advance

Hi , Farah
 
As for the 1st one , it is ok . For the 2nd one ,  I think that "why " is valid for the direct speech so  since this is the indirect speech  the verb to suggest already  serves the function so we would simply say  , Fatima  suggested to go shopping .


Have a nice day

  1. a. �You shouldn�t go running as you�re feeling ill, John,� Anne said.
    b.     Anne advised John.....not to go running as he was feeling ill............
  2. (a) �Why don�t we go shopping?� suggested Fatima.
    (b) Fatima suggested..... that we go shopping

�Why don �t we go shopping? � means Fatima wants to go shopping.

 
Why don �t we go on a picnic since the weather is so nice?
=The weather is nice. Let �s go on a picnic.
