    Question

    Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
    Isha told Shivani that they didn’t need to buy tickets for the match as she had been given free passes for two.

    A.

    Isha said to Shivani, “They didn’t need to buy tickets for the match as I am given free passes for two.”

    B.

    Isha said to Shivani, “They didn’t need to buy tickets for the match as she was given free passes for two.”

    C.

    Isha said to Shivani, “We don’t need to buy tickets for the match as I have been given free passes for two.”

    D.

    Isha said to Shivani, “We didn’t need to buy tickets for the match as I am given free passes for two.”

    Correct option is C

    The correct direct form of the sentence is (c) "Isha said to Shivani, 'We don’t need to buy tickets for the match as I have been given free passes for two.'" It maintains the correct tense and pronoun reference.
    The following rules should be followed while converting an indirect speech to direct speech:
    · Use the reporting verb such as (say, said to) in its correct tense.
    · Put a comma before the statement and the first letter of the statement should be in capital letter.
    · Insert question mark, quotation marks, exclamation mark and full stop, based on the mood of the sentence.
    · Remove the conjunctions like (that, to, if or whether) wherever necessary.
    · Where the reporting verb is in past tense in indirect, change it to present tense in the direct speech.
    · Change the past perfect tense either into present perfect tense or past tense, as necessary.
    · Pronouns will be changed accordingly.
