    Change the following sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech. He said, “I don’t believe your story at all.”
    Question


    Change the following sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech.
    He said, “I don’t believe your story at all.”

    A.

    He told me that I did not believe my story at all.

    B.

    He told me that he did not believe my story at all.

    C.

    He said that he didn’t believe in my story at all.

    D.

    That he did not believe my story was conveyed to me by him.

    Correct option is B

    The correct indirect speech of the given sentence is (b).
    Correct sentence:
    He told me that he did not believe my story at all.
    Rules of Direct → Indirect Speech:
    · Reporting verb “said” changes to “told” when an object (me) is present.
    · Pronoun “I” changes according to the speaker → he.
    · Present tense (“don’t believe”) changes to past tense (“did not believe”).
    · In negative statements, “do not” → “did not”.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) Wrong pronoun change (“I” instead of “he”).
    · (c) Adds incorrect preposition “in” and tense mismatch.
    · (d) Is passive, awkward, and not a standard indirect form.
