Question

Hi!

Could you please, answer a question for me?
If my boss says to me: Don't be late!
A friend of mine approaches me and says: What he said?
I know that if I say: "My boss told me not to be late" is correct.
But, if I say: My boss said to me: Don't be late! Is it correct, too? Or not?

Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Nelson

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

You could say it, but if you said so it would sound a bit awkward. You could say, "My Boss tolds me : "Don't be late!"

It's not a big issue, its just word choice.

Answer 2

Saying: My boss said to me: Don't be late! wont be correct.
