Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The coach said to the student, “When will you come for practice?"

Correct option is C

The correct indirect speech is (c) The coach asked the student when he would come for practice.
Direct Speech: Quoting someone’s exact words.
Indirect Speech: Reporting what someone said without quoting directly.
Rule for Interrogative Conversion:
· Reporting verb “said to” changes to “asked” for questions.
· Change of tense: “will” → “would”
· No question mark in indirect speech.
· Sentence becomes a statement structure: [Subject + would + verb]
Structure:
Direct: said to + “When will you come…?”
Indirect: asked + when + subject + would + base verb
Example:
Direct: She said to him, “When will you arrive?”
Indirect: She asked him when he would arrive.
Error in other options:
· (a) “would came” – incorrect verb form.
· (b) Incorrect word order “when would he come” – no auxiliary inversion in indirect questions.
· (d) “will” not changed to “would” – tense mismatch.
