Read Explanation:

  • Sudden feelings നെ കാണിക്കുന്ന sentence നെ Exclamatory sentence എന്ന് പറയുന്നു.
  • Oh, Alas, Hurrah, Bravo എന്നി വാക്കുകൾ ചേർന്ന് വരുന്നത് ആണ് Exclamatory sentence.
  • Alas/sorry - sorrow/regret
  • Exclamatory words or phrases like "Alas!" are usually omitted (സാധാരണയായി ഒഴിവാക്കപ്പെടുന്നു) in indirect speech.
  • Since the speaker exclaimed with "Alas!" it implies a cry or exclamation, so "said" is changed to "cried out" to convey this emotion.
  • ഈ വാചകത്തിൽ, റിപ്പോർട്ടുചെയ്ത സംഭാഷണം past tenseലാണ് ("met"), അതിനാൽ ടെൻസുകളുടെ sequence നിലനിർത്തുന്നതിന് അത് റിപ്പോർട്ടുചെയ്‌ത സംഭാഷണത്തിലെ past perfect ലേക്ക് ("had met") മാറ്റേണ്ടതുണ്ട്.
