Câu hỏi về Tiếng Anh (Mỹ)

I'm reading Jungle book.

What does it mean 'Mowgli did as she was told'

She is Bagheera.

She said to Mowgli that 'go to the houses in the town where humans live and pick the red flower'.

She told him but Why not 'Mowgli did as she told'??

What's difference 'did as she was told' and 'did as she told'??

From your question, I’m assuming that both Mowgli and Bagheera are females. (I’ve never read the book.)

In both sentences, “she” can be unclear. Is “she” Mowlgi, or is “she” Bagheera? Unless you know which “she” they are talking about, there can be some confusion.

“Mowgli did as she told” could imply that Mowgli was told to do something by someone else and Mowgli did it, but it could also imply that Mowgli told someone to do something and Mowgli also did it.
Ex:
“Mowgli did what Mowgli said to do.”

“Mowgli did as she was told” implies that Mowgli was told to do something by someone else and Mowgli did it.
Ex:
“Mowgli did what Bagheera said.”

The “was” adds clarity.

@alshskfk123 It’s a typo.
They meant “he” not “she”
Mowgli did as ‘he’ was told.
So he did what Bagheera told him to do.
He obeyed Bagheera’s instructions.

Yes.
He did as he was told
Mowgli did as he was told.

If you were to say:
Mowgli did as he told, than ‘he’ would be referring to Bagheera.
Confusing, right?
Don’t worry, English gets easier.
Korean is really confusing lol. Honorifics and that crazy sentence structure 😅 @alshskfk123

Yes. They used computer voice website to read the words.
They used a website like this:

Robot voice (if you can’t tell)

What? No no no 😅
I was saying that they used a website similar to this to pronounce the words, it does not sound natural.
Sometimes it messes up words. I wouldn’t use that YouTube channel or any websites like the one I showed you.
I don’t know many good Youtube channels to learn English, but you can use these:
https://m.youtube.com/user/koreanenglishman
https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCOgGAfSUy5LvEyVS...
They are funny, maybe they will help....?
They aren’t teachers, but they make funny videos. I hope it helps you.
