I came across these few sentences and I think these have some mistakes.Kindly corroborate it. (Disclaimer:-This is not my homework.)
1:-"Nobody should try to disturb me",the doctor said to his assistant.
I think that due to "inversion",the sentence should be like this:-"Nobody should try to disturb me",said the doctor to his assistant.
Please tell me :- Are both the sentences correct and if not then which one is correct? If both are correct,does they have any difference in meaning?
2:-He was very tired of work,so he said that he was sorry to accompany us.
I think that as he have not accompanied us due to his tiredness,the sentence should be :-He was very tired of work,so he said that he was sorry not to accompany us.

3:-He never liked to treat his brothers friendly.
I think that friendly being an adjective should not be used(Am I right with this?).Instead of adjective, adverb "in friendly manner" should be used like this:-He never liked to treat his brothers in a friendly manner.

Thank you in advance.
