@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. |

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. |

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. The more the common and open product the lesser will be worth. The more the unique and complex product the higher will be the worth. 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:
or Her father knew that she did not disobey him. Her parents strongly object on her travelling alone. (with doesn't fit here, to is better than with but on is even better than to) Mostly, verb object demands following prepositions: to, on, over whereas object with looks somewhat odd.
