Question


A sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four given alternatives, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech.
He said, "Let Parth come with us, mother. I’ll take care of him."

A.

He requested his mother to let Parth come with him as he will take care of him.

B.

He informed his mother to let Parth come with her as he would take care of him.

C.

He asked his mother to let Parth come with them as he would take care of him.

D.

He told to his mother let Parth come with us as he would take care of him.

Correct option is C


Step 1: Identify the sentence type and tense
· The sentence contains a request ("Let Parth come with us") and an assurance ("I'll take care of him").
· "Let" is changed to "asked" or "requested" in indirect speech.
· "I’ll" (Future Simple) changes to "he would" in indirect speech.
Step 2: Apply the conversion rules
· Direct: He said, "Let Parth come with us, mother. I’ll take care of him."
· Indirect: He asked his mother to let Parth come with them as he would take care of him.
Why other options are incorrect?
· (a) "Will take care of him." ("Will" should change to "would").
· (b) "With her as he would take care of him." ("With her" should be "with them").
· (d) "Told to his mother let Parth come with us." (Incorrect structure).
