Question

Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
She told me that she was going to the mall with her sister.

A.

She said, "I am going to the mall with your sister."

B.

She said, "I am going to the mall with her sister."

C.

She said, "She is going to the mall with my sister."

D.

She said, "I am going to the mall with my sister."

Correct option is D


Direct speech: The exact words of the speaker are quoted, usually within inverted commas (e.g., She said, "I am tired.").
Indirect speech: The speaker’s words are reported without quoting exactly, often with changes in pronouns, tense, and word order (e.g., She said that she was tired.).
The correct direct speech form is (d) She said, "I am going to the mall with my sister."
Explanation:
· In indirect to direct conversion:
· “she was going” → becomes “I am going”
· “her sister” → becomes “my sister”
· Reporting verb “told me” becomes said
· Use quotation marks for direct speech.
Grammatical Rule Used:
While changing from indirect to direct:
· Adjust pronouns: “she” → “I”, “her” → “my”
· Tense shifts from past to present (if reporting verb is in past and original speech is present)
