@Lord AvaLon

Please answer my question which I have raised twice in my previous posts.

e) He told Aslam to get his coat.

If you are talking about this one so I still have ambiguity.
Either “You” or “My” should be used as both of them seem to fit.

[QUOTE=Lord AvaLon]e) He told Aslam to get his coat.

Exactly, I was talking about this one.
Direct:He said, "Get your coat, Aslam."
Indirect: He told Aslam to get his coat.
Direct: He said, "Get my coat, Aslam."
Indirect: He told Aslam to get his coat.


In both the cases of "your" or "my", Indirect form seems same.
This is what I was trying to explain.

Now if we are asked to change the narration of following sentence:
He told Aslam to get his coat. (Indirect)
To be prudent we can assume that he is asking Aslam to get Aslam's own coat. Becuase here we use our common sense i.e. coat blongs to Aslam.

Keeping in view the above logic I prefer "Your"
He said, "Get your coat, Aslam." (Direct)


Your solution ( He said, "Get my coat, Aslam.") do seem correct but one thing which makes it odd i.e. why he is giving his own coat to Aslam.
Most probably that coat belongs to Aslam that is why Aslam is asked to get his coat.

[quote]What if we write like: "that of Mushataq" instead of Mushtaq's and "these" instead of "them"


What if we write:

There was a very different atmosphere in the town this morning than that of yesterday's.

OR

Atmosphere was very different this morning than that of yesterday's.

d) Art lies in concealing art.[/quote]

I think these words indicate the impressive touch which is given to art related outputs. By concealing art we mean putting such meaningful and thought provoking features in product that need some concentration to grasp its hidden meanings which are really vast but not so easy to understand. This happens in practical life any art-related product either painting or monument etc. which is normally beyond the understanding of layman and is piece of deep message for the intellectuals / familiar persons gets more publicity and is awarded with great honor.
Incorporating simple messages and easy to understand with minimum hidden message and intrinsic value require little effort to comprehend the message but that product gets lesser publicity as compared to that of philosophical and hidden message conveying product.

[B]The more the common and open product the lesser will be worth.[/B]
[B]The more the unique and complex product the higher will be the worth.[/B]

This explanation is based on my personal observation which I have observed in practical life. There is no reference to quote for the meaning of above words. Actual meaning may differ with this explanation.

[quote=Kamran5011]he wondered that he had lost his money.


Her Father knew that she had disobeyed him.


Her parents strongly object with her travelling alone.

[/quote]

Her father knew that she will not disobey him. ([B]had[/B] is not correct as the sentence contains 1st form of the verb i.e. [B]obey[/B])
or
Her father knew that she did not disobey him.

Her parents strongly object [B]on [/B]her travelling alone. ([B]with[/B] doesn't fit here, [B]to[/B] is better than [B]with[/B] but[B] on[/B] is even better than [B]to)[/B]

Mostly, verb [B]object[/B] demands following prepositions: to, on, over
whereas [B]object with [/B]looks somewhat odd.

I think

Her Father knew that she never disobeyed him.
